Growing Up Just Got Easier ...

With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to parents and children as they tackle life's first experiences together.

Whether you're heading out for a night of romance, an afternoon of recreation, or a day of work, there will be plenty of times when you'll need to (or want to) leave home without children. Enter - the babysitter. What To Expect When the Babysitter Comes will help you answer your child's questions about babysitters - what they're for, what they're like, what they do - as well as explain how the day or night will be different (and the same) without Mommy and Daddy.

Heidi Murkoff, coauthor of the bestselling pregnancy book, What to Expect When You're Expecting, writes lucidly and honestly in all the books in the invaluable, appealing What to Expect series for young children, including What to Expect When Mommy's Having a Baby and What to Expect When You Go to the Doctor. Laura Rader's fun, cartoonish illustrations make baby sitters look like loads of fun! With the help of Angus and this appealing read-aloud book, your child will soon be waving you off with a mere "See you later, alligator!" (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
