Lemons Into Lemonade

Beautifully illustrated, this book tells the story of young Molly, a girl who thinks she's too old for a babysitter. Enter Mr. Herbert "from down the street. He had on the same rumpled sweater and polka dot bow tie he always wore." Molly thinks of ways to get him to quit, but clever Mr. Herbert's flexible nature and equanimity serve him well: "I don't need a babysitter!" Molly declared. "I'm too big!" Mr. Herbert...made his tangly eyebrows bounce. "You'll have to teach me what babysitters do."As Mr. Herbert meets all her "challenges" with good humor and aplomb--never going out of character just to get her approval-- Molly warms up to the older man. They discover that they have a few things in common, and Molly learns that she can be babysat without losing her dignity. A wonderful book, it conveys that adults can meet children on their level without giving up their own.
