Mr. Pudgins | Ruth Christoffer Carlsen
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
You've never met a babysitter like Mr. Pudgins!When Mr. Pudgins comes to watch John, Pete, and Janey, all kinds of crazy things happen. Faucets run soda pop instead of water, the bathtub takes them for a ride, a case of the hiccups releases birds into the house, and friends step out of the mirror! Somehow all evidence of their antics is erased by the time Mother and Father get home. Mr. Pudgins is the best babysitter ever! But what happens when John, Pete, and Janey grow older? Ruth Christoffer Carlsen's classic novel, first published in 1951, celebrates the power of the imagination through one unforgettable babysitter. An introduction by noted librarian Nancy Pearl is included.

I read this aloud to my 6 and 8 year old daughters. It was lots of fun. Similar to Mary Poppins. Several LOL moments. The short chapters were perfect for bedtime. Got it from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #kiddielit #koll #readalouds

I needed a quick, light-hearted read for my kiddos and found this one in the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. Two chapters in and we're finding it lots of fun. Perfect for our laid-back holiday weekend. #kiddielit #koll

Just started this as a read-aloud with my 6-year old. No idea where we picked it up! Written in 1951 - always interesting, in ways sometimes fun and sometimes alarming, to read children's books from so long ago. This one is about (more in comments) -

lisa.moussalli - a pipe smoking slightly magical babysitter. Two chapters in it's holding our attention, is not too heavy on 1950s gender stuff, and is also a reminder - 9y
lisa.moussalli - of a different kind of childhood ("Get on your bike, Johnny, and go down to the grocery store. Buy ten bags of assorted sizes."). Feels like Mary Poppins meets Mrs. Piggle Wiggle meets George the Babysitter. 9y
