I just love Bingo Brown. Although this is a juvenile chapter book, I, a 31 year old adult found myself laughing aloud on several occasions. Bingo continues his relationship with Melissa; his main conflict comes when he has to buy her a Christmas gift. What should he get her? What's she getting him? How to convey the depths of his emotion on only $3? So funny. Also, Bingo's mom is having a baby, so there are Burning Questions about Big Brotherhood to contend with as well.
Seriously, Bingo is so adorable and genuine and hilarious. Everyone needs to read these books. I am so glad I wasn't disappointed as I so often am when re-reading much-loved books from my childhood.

So light and sweet. And short. There should be more books like those in this series, but at the same time, they're not awesome enough to give higher ratings to. Btw, it does help but is not necessary to read them in order. And in this there is more about the baby than the 'gypsy lover' but that's ok.
Bingo Brown's Christmas is turning out to be a mess when he has to deal with his pregnant mother, the prospect of a new sibling, and complicated girl trouble. Reprint.
