Mom, I Fired the Babysitter!

By: Robley Blake, Colleen H.

Alex thinks he is quite capable of taking care of himself, so he resents the fact that he has to be watched by a babysitter. He fantasizes about all the reasons why she needs to be fired and tries to convince his mother. Mom becomes the go-between for Alex's and the babysitter's complaints about each other. But in the end, will the babysitter stay or go? Mom, I Fired the Babysitter is a fun and engaging reading experience that sheds light on the subject of getting along with people, but also standing up and voicing your opinion when it's appropriate.
