Baby Tamer reminds me all too well of a few households I've babysat for. Sometimes it really seems like a circus instead of a bunch of kids.
As Amanda, the brave babysitter, walks into the house, she sees Clarabelle, Zeke, and Baby Lurleen playing in a three-piece band. They are crazy! (But of course, Amanda seems unimpressed.) The kids have plans for mischief that include dumping octopus in the bath, putting penguins in the freezer, and jumping over chairs on a tricycle. But each time the kids...more

And here we have what I like to call a "filler" book. Filler books are published books written by a well known author that are not up to par. Hence them being used as a "filler" for the "real" books.
The Eggmont kids? Really? And what is on the babysitters head? A triangle? A pyramid? An upside down funnel? What is with this?

These three rascals in the book are my children. It's like somebody has been watching us :)
The only one of the Teague books that was not quite up to the high standards of the rest of his works.
Pretty cute. Wish we had a babysitter like Amanda Smeedy.
Great hit in Storytime!
My favorite illustrator (he's done all the Dinosaur books like How does a dinosaur get well soon? -- I'll add more to this list). It's about 3 kids challenging their babysitter. Written in rhyme which Nate and I both love. SO CUTE YOU'LL FALL OVER.
A cute book my kids love me to read over and over to them.
It's about a babysitter watching wild kids and how she tames them.
