Poor Baby Bear is so exhausted from staying up too late in the fall, that now he can’t wake up in the spring. Even his old friends, Moose, Owl, and Hare have no luck waking the tired little bear. A few well-placed pecks from Mother Robin does the trick and Baby Bear finally awakes just in time to do a little babysitting himself. This charming follow-up to Baby Bear’s Not Hibernating explores themes of friendship, diversity, working as a team, and parenting; plus it concludes with fun facts and information about black bears.
On Friday nights many parents want to have a little fun together—without the kids. But “getting a sitter”—especially a dependable one—rarely seems trouble-free. Will the kids be safe with “that girl”? It’s a question that discomfited parents have been asking ever since the emergence of the modern American teenage girl nearly a century ago. In Babysitter, Miriam Forman-Brunell brings critical attention to the ubiquitous, yet long-overlooked babysitter in the popular imagination and American history. Informed by her research on the history of teenage girls’ culture, Forman-Brunell analyzes the babysitter, who has embodied adults’ fundamental apprehensions about girls’ pursuit of autonomy and empowerment. In fact, the grievances go both ways, as girls have been distressed by unsatisfactory working conditions. In her quest to gain a fuller picture of this largely unexamined cultural phenomenon, Forman-Brunell analyzes a wealth of diverse sources, such as The Baby-sitter’s Club book series, horror movies like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, urban legends, magazines, newspapers, television shows, pornography, and more. Forman-Brunell shows that beyond the mundane, understandable apprehensions stirred by hiring a caretaker to “mind the children” in one’s own home, babysitters became lightning rods for society’s larger fears about gender and generational change. In the end, experts’ efforts to tame teenage girls with training courses, handbooks, and other texts failed to prevent generations from turning their backs on babysitting.

These Bear Shifters might not have a lot of money, but they're rich in what counts. The Secret Baby Bears Ultimate Box Set is here! Contains the following stories: Alec: Talia normally enjoyed her mornings teaching her class. The little boys and girls looked up at her, their big eyes rapt with attention as she taught them their daily lessons. But today was different. She felt it in her bones, but she had no idea her life was about to change forever. Alec knew he shouldn't do this. He should've called, but this wasn't something you could talk about over the phone. Hi, I'm actually the father of your small child, who might be a Bear Shifter like me. Sometimes, you just had to be bold, even if that meant crossing the line into dangerous. Rock: Gemma had been to her fair share of parties, but this one was a bit different. It wasn't that long ago that she was a wild party girl, hitting up frats and luring studs into her web of drama and seduction. But those days were behind her. Today's party was for her young son, Arthur. As a rambunctious two year old, she hoped that he would have fun and remember it. Her back yard started filling with guests, including a tall broad-shouldered man whose eyes she found entrancing... Rock wasn't sure how this was supposed to go. He was a complete stranger, showing up at this lady's house and needing to have a very intimate conversation with her. He thought about turning around, getting back into his car and driving away. But then he heard a little laugh coming from the back yard. He knew instantly that it was his cub, and nothing was going to stop him from being the best father he could be! Jackson: Olivia Hendricks put on her best face as she looked in the mirror. Her best friend's wedding was finally here, and she was happy to stand for her friend. But there was no denying that her body had seen better days. Her toddler tugged at his adorable little tux like a wild animal as they scooted out the door. Could today just be over? Jackson saw her from across the dance floor, and she took his breath away. He watched her sway back and forth to the music, her son on her hip. Every nerve in his body screamed that that was his cub. He couldn't believe that the little was actually real, actually there in front of him. Taking a deep breath, he made his way to the two most important people in his life. Clay: Chloe was exhausted. Moving from New York City to Ithaca, NY had been a real strain on this city girl. Her darling son Noah had been a handful, as usual, but lately he'd been behaving strangely around the other kids his age. A nice trip to the zoo would let him get out some of that energy and hopefully let Chloe relax a little bit. But whatever the day had in store for her, relaxation would play no part in it... Clay knew this was the wrong way to do it. Trying to naturally meet someone you've been tracking down is never going to work, but what choice did he have? She was raising his cub, and that meant the normal playbook was going right out the window. As soon as he laid eyes on her, he had a feeling that the wrong way was going to suit him just fine... Rust: Rust was a man in pieces. He never had much going for him, truth be told. His broad shoulders and the golden shine in his Bear Shifter eyes meant he had few enemies, but that didn’t matter now. Haunted and tormented by a terrible event, he decided he’d had enough drowning in pity and sorrow. He would meet his fate, no matter the consequences. And if he could make someone’s life a little better in the process, so be it.

Adventures in Babysitting meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this funny, action-packed novel about a coven of witchy babysitters who realize their calling to protect the innocent and save the world from an onslaught of evil. Seventeen-year-old Esme Pearl has a babysitters club. She knows it's kinda lame, but what else is she supposed to do? Get a job? Gross. Besides, Esme likes babysitting, and she's good at it. And lately Esme needs all the cash she can get, because it seems like destruction follows her wherever she goes. Let's just say she owes some people a new tree. Enter Cassandra Heaven. She's Instagram-model hot, dresses like she found her clothes in a dumpster, and has a rebellious streak as gnarly as the cafeteria cooking. So why is Cassandra willing to do anything, even take on a potty-training two-year-old, to join Esme's babysitters club? The answer lies in a mysterious note Cassandra's mother left her: "Find the babysitters. Love, Mom." Turns out, Esme and Cassandra have more in common than they think, and they're about to discover what being a babysitter really means: a heroic lineage of superpowers, magic rituals, and saving the innocent from seriously terrifying evil. And all before the parents get home. "The Baby-Sitters Club...but spooky."--Cosmopolitan "A high-energy series starter that's plenty of fun."--Booklist "Combines everything you love."--Man Repeller
