Publisher's summary

Kristy's mom is getting married, and everyone is coming to town to help, bringing their kids with them. Fourteen kids! Kristy is sure she and Stacey, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Dawn can handle it - they're professional baby-sitters after all, and Kristy's mom has offered them a lot of money to take on such a big job.

But will a week of changing diapers, stopping fights, solving mix-ups, and keeping 14 children entertained prove to be too much for the BSC? Can they keep things under control for Kristy's big day?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I love the babysitters club and I love weddings
So this was the best book for me. I love the
story it’s so well written and so cute. I think the narrator was pretty bad but the book was full of fun.

Brilliant narration!

Brittany Pressley does a terrific job of narrating this book. In the original printed books, different handwriting gives different "voices" to the characters. Brittany Pressley actually gives different voices to the many characters, making it easy to follow along without the visuals or reminders about who is speaking. I also admire how skillfully Brittany Pressley managed to become the voices of a thirteen year old, a six year old and an adult, without sounding at all the same. Absolutely brilliant!

The fourteen children

I love the book because it shows how hard it is to move,planning and wedding in two weeks and three days, but also sowing that five girls that are very reasonable can watch fourteen kids.
Baby sitting kids is so fun and I love that there is a great book about it.

What stood out to me is that when she was reading she would change her voice for each different characters!

I loved that book it was very interesting and how Kristy got used to Watson at the end!

Great story, okay narration

The narrators for this series aren't very good. They all use terrible impressions for the child characters; high pitched and whiney. Makes the books hard to listen to.

The BSC's biggest job yet!

I am on a quest to revisit my childhood reading favorites. When I was a child, I loved the Babysitters Club books. I devoured them. I read those, along with the Super Specials, Mysteries, Little Sister books, etc. In fact, I still have all of them to this day in paperback. They were such a big part of my love of reading, I could not part with them. So now that they have come out on Audiobook, I had to check them out. As it turns out, I am not too old to enjoy The Baby-sitters Club. It kind of feels like going home again.

Kristy's Big Day is book 6 in the Baby-sitters Club series. In this book, Kristy's mom is marrying Watson. Due to some scheduling conflicts, the wedding had to be moved up significantly and everyone is in a mad rush to get the wedding planned. When friends and family come to town to help a week early, the BSC gets hired for their biggest job yet. All 5 of the girls will be babysitting together for 5 full days in a row; Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm. They will have 14 kids of varying ages to care for, plus Jamie Newton for one of the days since they already agreed to babysit for him. They break the kids up into 5 groups based on age and the girls each have a group they are responsible for. We get to see if the BSC can manage 14-15 kids at once and what challenges they face.

This book is a quick listen and is only 2 hours and 40 minutes. The first 5 books all had the same narrator. This book had a new narrator which made it a bit harder to get used to since I have been listening to these books almost back to back. I was used to the voices of the first narrator.

My love for these books and the nostalgia is holding strong. I am ready to listen to book 7!

Relive your childhood memories of the Babysitter's

The narrator is no longer Ella Fanning but this narrator is just as good. The story of War of the Worlds is mentioned here.

They get better and better.

An excellent listen. The narrator does a great job getting the voice tones and all perfect. Karen, Karen, Karen. LOL. A fine effort from Ann.
