Praise
“Bright digital pictures by Savage . . . have a reassuring sense of symmetry and solidity, with midcentury modern stylings, seemingly inspired by a vintage issue of House Beautiful, that grown-ups will surely appreciate.”—Publishers Weekly
“A resource for the babysitter bookshelf and to prompt conversations about seeing beyond appearances.”—Kirkus Reviews
“When their parents go to the movies, a young girl and boy are left with a new babysitter who has more tricks up her sleeve than Mary Poppins. The sitter is an extraterrestrial who beamed down from a spaceship and demonstrates wonderful capabilities. . . . Children will wish their own sitters were a bit more outlandish. A super read-aloud selection to share one-on-one or with group, even at bedtime.”—School Library Journal
“Savage’s digital illustrations in a subdued color palette enhance the tale’s retro flair”—The Horn Book
