i started by reading the LS , and ordered from a scholastic thing similar to that. I got #36 Karen’s ducklings and loved it. I kpet on reading those, and one day when i was in second grade i noticed thsi older girl that was sitting nextto me on the bus was reading a book (weird I know it was Mallory and the Ghost Cat). I saw the Baby-Sitters thing on top, and i thought it was weird because it didn’t look like the books I read.
Anyway, I picked up my first BSC book in teh school library I think in 3rd grade. It was California Girls

i was 7, frist grade and a bit tried of little easy books we were at the club price at quebec and i think i bought the frist two. i read them in french until 15 and now i am reading and collecting them in english

I was six and in first grade, and my grandma worked at Target putting price stickers on things. She told me about a new series of four books about girls who babysat, and since I ADORED my babysitters, she thought I’d like them. So she got me the first four, and I was hooked.

Yeah. Way back when they were first published. I’m old.

I am also old, and also started reading BSC when they first came out, when I was also six and in Grade One. I borrowed Kristy’s Great Idea from the library in 1986, and I don’t remember at all what initially attracted me to it, although I guess it doesn’t really matter since I read pretty much anything. I didn’t find any other BSC books until Kristy’s Big Day was released in 1987. When I saw a copy of it, I bought it because I remembered liking the first book a lot, and at that point the local bookstores started carrying BSC books on a regular basis, so then my obsession really began.

…and I guess I’ll never use the “em” tag here again, what with the havoc I wrought. Sorry ’bout that.

yeah, that’s why i can never bold stuff. only italics and underline work ok.
