These are so cute 🥰
Yay! The graphic novel adaptations of the Baby-Sitters Club series continue with a new comic artist, Gale Galligan. She has a very similar style as Telgemeier's (and worked as a production assistant on Telgemeier's DRAMA) and kids will love her adaptations, too. Put this on your radar because kids will want it! (Coming in Sept.)
Cute!
Cute story. I love these graphic novels.
Those who adore the Babysitters Club graphic novels have something to cheer about: a fifth title in this ever popular series. Dawn, the newest member of the club, accepts a job babysitting at the Barrett's, where the kids are off the wall and the place is a mess. Dawn has to decide how to talk to Mrs. Barrett about the mayhem. She also has to contend with an increasingly grumpy Kristy, who is president of the club. Although the four previous books in the series were written and illustrated by su...
CWs: child abduction, child neglect, custody violation, difficult divorce, emotional breakdown, emotional parentification, exclusion, moving away, parentification *TRIGGER WARNING: child parentification* First of all, I would like to write an apology to Gale Galligan. I originally shunned her adaptations thinking that I would never enjoy a BSC graphic novel that wasn’t illustrated by Raina Telgemeier. Of course, I was super wrong. Gale Galligan’s illustrations are so filled with life and expr
It was great to see the characters and how their individual stories are progressing, along with how their friendships are growing and changing. And just like in the other books in the series, the girls have to tackle some heavy stuff. This volume highlighted the dangers of babysitting and I appreciated how it discussed the difference between babysitting and parenting. This series doesn't get enough hype!
Another winner in the Baby-Sitters Graphic evolution, however, they switched artists for this one. This book was translated into graphics by Gale Galligan, and while I liked the newer artwork, my son said he preferred Raina Telgemeier because her art is "more cartoony." To each their own, right?Again, this book touches on some pretty serious stuff. A negligent mother going through a rough divorce. A baby-sitting charge goes missing, and the usual, Kristy is feeling left out because when her mom
Dawn is the newest member of the baby-sitters club. She moved here with her mother and brother not that long ago. Since moving, her mother and Mary Anne's father have been going out and it's going well. Dawn goes for her baby-sitting job and the Barrett family is all out of control. Mrs. Barrett leaves out the door as soon as Dawn gets there and she leaves no instructions or phone numbers and the house is all disarray. Dawn manages the situation but it becomes a regular occurrence. Meanwhile, th...
RATING: 4 STARS(Review Not on Blog) As a kid I LOVED the Baby-Sitters Club and would often spend hours scouring the library for the next title. Honestly, I probably read the series longer than I should have (reading level-wise), but it always felt like visiting friends. While I have never wanted to be a babysitter, I loved the club idea. As a bossy creative kid this was right up my alley. The friendships in this book was something I had always wanted. This was a series I grew up with and was my
I’m so sad that I’ve finished this series for now - until the July release. I have been enjoying this series so much. The girls are responsible and deal with some serious issues. I will admit I don’t like Gale’s art quite as much as Raina’s, but this was still really cute and I can’t wait to read the next one.
[4.5 stars] Really enjoyed the variety of panel work throughout this installment, as well as the use of inner monologue segments--I also appreciated how the story dipped into heavier topics. Hope Scholastic keeps producing these adaptations forever tbh.
I read this fully this morning! Second time reading and it still held my attention. I love this and recommend for all ages... anyone should read this as soon as they learn to read this level. 100% clean... now all I gotta do is get my sister to read this... lol.
Cute. It's a re-read, and I only re-read it because I was bored. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable and cute story with great illustrations. I kind of miss Raina Telgemeier's art and writing but I enjoy Gale Galligan's work as well.
It’s the BSC adventure where Dawn gets away with being super judgy about how a BSC client lives her life. Single parent, Mrs Barrett, is desperately trying to keep her family afloat - caring for three kids under 10, job hunting, managing a messy divorce. So what if the house is kinda messy? Okay, so it’s very messy but the poor woman is dealing with a lot. Let’s cut her some slack.Usually I try to read the graphic novel as soon as I’ve finished the book. I was unable to jump the library queue so...
there is a person named Dawn and she is baby sitting three kids . Her mom is getting married to her friends dad .They are very excited for the wedding .
kids won't notice that this isn't by telgemeier and will still love it. as a bsc lover and purist, though, I was a little confused by this book. for some reason they decided to combine Dawn and the Impossible Three with Hello, Mallory. both of those books have enough action and enough that is compelling that they merit their own books. the big problem with including aspects of hello, mallory in this book is that they completely ignore the jessi parts of that story. I know that taking jessi out m...
The fifth graphic novel, and first of Gale Galligan's run as cartoonist, is a sort of combo adaptation of BSC #5, Dawn and the Impossible Three, and BSC #14, Hello, Mallory. To start with the good, I really love Gale's art. It's quite different from Raina's, but I feel like it also goes really well with the material. It's a little more shoujo and anime-y, and it's very pretty and sweet. (The shoujo style especially works for glamorous Mrs. Barrett.) It's also very expressive, with plenty of dram...
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, this is mine.I'm not going to go in depth and analyze a children's novel, breaking it apart. This was just an enjoyable read to reach my gr yearly goal and get myself out of a reading slump. It was just really nostalgic because I adored the Baby-Sitter's club as a kid. I actually tried to collect the entire series and most of my books are falling apart as we speak. I failed, I only collected 10 of them.I loved the drawings, the style gave me a major rai...
If you were worried about the switch in artists for this series, I have to say that Gale Galligan makes an excellent replacement with art that is full of energy! I am still enjoying the subtle changes to the stories to make them fit in 2017. This particular volume about Dawn was an excellent story about fostering resilience and maturity in younger girls. Dawn found herself in a difficult situation with a new babysitting job, and she had to take on a lot of responsibilities that were unfair. Not
