Editorial Review:
Sophie Aldred reads Jacqueline Wilson's The Mum-Minder in this unabridged single cassette pack.
"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." But when Sadie's mum goes down with flu Sadie finds herself spending her half-term holiday not only looking after her mum but helping to mind the babies too. There's three-year-old Gemma, two-year-old Vincent, baby Clive and Sadie's own baby sister, Sara. But, "us girls have got to stick together", so with Sadie's help all the mums take a turn. On Wednesday Gemma's mum takes them to her police station, on Thursday they go to an office and on Friday they go to Clive's mum's chocolate shop. This hilarious and heart-warming story first published in 1993 by the award-winning author of The Suitcase Kid and The Story of Tracy Beaker is sure to go down well with all 7-11 year olds and, as with all Jacqueline Wilson's stories, it is particularly good for enticing and entertaining the more reluctant reader.
Running time is 55 minutes. --Tamsin Palmer

Nice little book, my niece felt the need to quote the funny bits to me so she obviously enjoyed it. Quite a thin book but expected this as the price was low.

The Mum Minder is about mum who wanted to work as a child minder. She thought it looked easy but when she tried it, she couldn't get all the children to stop drawing on the walls and messing up the house. To solve this problem she will have to think of something really really good!
I couldn't put this book down. It was just SO good. A detailed and well written book that anyone can enjoy.
