"Anyone who has ever done babysitting will be able to empathize with Bonnie and her plight. For that matter, so will anyone who has ever been babysat! Author VS Grenier has created a tender, heartwarming story that children will enjoy having read to them and that parents will enjoy reading. Babysitting SugarPaw should bring back a lot of fond, and perhaps a few not-so-fond, memories for both former babysitters and former children who were babysat. After all, what would we parents do without babysitters?"
~Wayne S. Walker, reviewer with Stories for Children Magazine
"In Babysitting Sugarpaw by VS Grenier, children will love to read about the mischievous antics of Sugarpaw who doesn't want to be babysat. Will Bonnie, a first-time babysitter, be able to keep Sugarpaw out of mischief until his parents return? Bonnie Whiskers finds she is up to the task, teaching Sugarpaw about patience along the way. Sweet illustrations by Kevin Scott Collier perfectly capture Bonnie's babysitting challenges."

"Mama Bear and Papa Bear have hired a babysitter for their baby, SugarPaw, while they go out for the evening. Let’s just say that he’s every babysitter’s nightmare. A neat twist at the end made me smile. Combine an unhappy little bear and a clever babysitter and you end up with a fun read. Babysitters will be nodding at SugarPaw’s antics, perhaps recognizing him in some of the children they’ve sat with. And young readers will giggle as SugarPaw does his mischief. Perhaps they’ll also think twice about being a troublemaker when they have a babysitter, especially if she’s a good one like Bonnie Whiskers.
"Ms. Grenier’s sense of humor sparkles in this picture book. Kevin Scott Collier’s illustrations add the perfect touch to a delightful story. I recommend the book for parents, children, and everyone who enjoys a good laugh and a little bear with a big heart."
~Beverly Stowe McClure, Author Beverly's Websites:
"Along with the colorful illustrations of Kevin Scott Collier, VS Grenier brings to life a first-time babysitter’s apprehension and mixes in the high jinxes of SugarPaw into a delightful story of acceptance and understanding. Your personal copy of Babysitting SugarPaw will surely become worn out from reading it many times over."
