I am not a fan of the sitting chapters, really. I liked them as a kid, because I was reading about people my age, but now I find them kind of tedious. Maybe it’s because I know that baby-sitting is not as fun as they make it out to be.
I think, though, that my favorite sitting charges are Marilyn and Carolyn Arnold. This is because two of the major plots involving them contain two of my favorite things: fashion and interior decorating. So if I have to read sitting chapters, at least these ones involve going to Bellairs and room-decorating.
