Three more stories about the quirky babysitter and her charges

My son BEGGED me to get this from the library when we saw the audiobook on the shelf. He's loved the last two, which took me by surprise somewhat, and hung on every word in the car.

Marge, the rainbow-haired babysitter who twists the rules to make sure the children have a fantastic time when their parents are away, now takes Jemima and Jakey to the zoo, on a train and on the hunt for a lost tooth.

We enjoyed Isla Fisher's narration and I particularly love little Jakey and his own little rules, he's a very realistic 4 year old. Jemima as narrator works, and Marge is always such a spirited character, with tricks up her sleeve that my son just loves hearing.

Works well on CD, we've tried them on paper too. Some fun adventures here, we liked the tooth as my son is losing his at the moment, and the zoo escapade.

Definitely we'll look out for any more.

One for ages 5-9 in particular.
