Marge in Charge

Actress and comedian Isla Fisher’s hilarious debut introduces Marge, your kids’ favorite new zany babysitter―perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Features charming illustrations!

Siblings Jemima and Jake Button don’t know what to make of their new babysitter, Marge: She’s not tall enough to ride a rollercoaster and, when she first arrives, she’s dressed like a grandma and looks very serious. But as soon as Mommy and Dad are gone, mischievous Marge lets down her rainbow hair and the adventures begin.

Jemima and Jake aren’t supposed to shoot apple juice out of water guns, eat pancakes off the ceiling, or throw impromptu concerts during music class―but with Marge here, everything’s gone topsy-turvy! Can they have this much fun and still finish everything on Mommy’s list before their parents come home to discover what’s been going on?

In these three madcap stories, it’s obvious that everything’s way more fun when Marge is in charge.

What happens when your new babysitter is more mischievous than you are?

• Zany Babysitter: Marge may look like a sweet grandma, but she has rainbow hair, a taste for adventure, and insists she’s a duchess on the run.
• Hilarious Hijinks: Get ready for pancake-ceiling dinners, apple-juice water gun fights, and impromptu school concerts that turn everything topsy-turvy.
• Heartwarming Sibling Story: Join sensible Jemima and her stubborn little brother Jake as they learn that a little bit of mischief can be the most fun of all.
• Perfect First Chapter Book: With charming illustrations and three madcap stories in one, this is an ideal choice for family read-alouds or for kids just beginning to read on their own.
