Description

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!

There's Something Odd About the Babysitter by Elayne Crain promises a whimsical adventure filled with laughter and an unexpected alliance.
