Freddie's newest babysitter is literally three raccoons in a trench coat. Shenanigans ensue.
Third Place Books welcomes Elayne Crain to our Lake Forest Park store for a storytime celebrating her debut picture book, There's Something Odd About the Babysitter!
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is not required. Readers of all ages welcome!
About There's Something Odd About the Babysitter. . .
Freddie has had many many babysitters over the years. And he’s never liked a single one.
So when a new one shows up, he’s sure he’s in for a boring night. Yet the babysitter seems nervous. Their table manners are appalling. And dinner is garbage. . . literally.
But after Freddie decides to team up with the babysitter to turn the evening around, what started out as boring becomes a night he won’t forget.
Humorous and heartfelt, this picture book full of delightful art is about letting new people (or raccoons) in...even when it's hard.
Praise for There's Something Odd About the Babysitter. . .
"Readers will know exactly what’s going on—and will feel proud at being in on the joke. [...] Read, laugh, repeat."
—Kirkus
