The Royal Babysitters by Clementine Beauvais
Bloomsbury Publishing, 2014. ISBN 9781408850770
(Age: 9+) Highly recommended. The Royal Babysitters is a fun
story which is also quick moving and full of hilarious antics. Anna
and Holly need money for the holiday of a lifetime and so they
accept the job as the Royal Babysitter. How hard can it be to look
after a baby prince? Well, six princes and an invasion by the King
of Danland really means a very tricky day for the girls.
Highly recommended for readers aged 9+. They will laugh at all the
effort the two girls and their new friend, Prince Pepino, get up to
as they lose babies, find babies, fight robot mermaids and defeat
kooky kings. The events are descriptive and the addition of black
and white cartoons only adds to the readers' understanding and the
comedy included by the author.
