Items related to The Mum-Minder
I’m Sadie and I’m nearly nine. Mum’s a childminder, but she doesn’t have to mind me. I can mind myself, easy-peasy. Lucky for Mum, because now she’s got the flu, so I’ve got to mind her — and help with all the babies!
The Mum-Minder is a hilarious, lively and warm-hearted account of a chaotic week in the life of a young girl.
“Jacqueline Wilson, whose books just keep getting better, always puts children at the centre and is also an expert on tweens.”–The Times

From AudioFile:
Jacqueline Wilson never fails to deliver a perfect story from the child's point of view. Sadie's mum is a baby-sitter (child-minder) for several children. When she's hit with the flu, kids and parents alike feel her absence. As Sadie and the perplexed parents band together to keep the kids occupied for several days, they come to greatly appreciate the hard work of the child-minder. Aldred sounds great as tiny children, harried parents and snooty grandparents. She takes us along as the children wreak havoc in a police station (where one tyke insists on calling a stern sergeant "daddy"), help office workers cope without a paper shredder and droolingly visit a chocolate shop. A very funny story reveals some real truths. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
