review 1: Bibi was just a babysitter. But to Eleanor, she was just about everything. So when Bibi has to suddenly move away, everything just seems wrong. How can things ever be right again with Bibi so far away?This book is simply written but in the most beautiful way. It is in free verse that flows and stops, just like a stream of thought. Young readers will most likely be drawn to Eleanor's decision makes processes (like she can't go to Pizza Roma because Bibi loved Pizza Roma and Pizza Roma reminds Eleanor of Bibi) and her sweet, energetic spirit - even when she's sad. My favorite line:"'Would you like pickle juice on a cookie?'And then I had to smile.Because that was just ridiculous."
review 2: In this book, Eleanor loses her first and only babysitter. She is in thir... mored grade and I think her voice is written so well. I love how dramatic she can be, because it made her feel like a real kid. When she finds out Bibi is leaving, she claims it's as bad as someone dying.Overall, this is just a cute book. Eleanor is sweet and funny, and has such supportive parents. Natalie, her new babysitter, was my favorite in this book.I can imagine myself enjoying this when I was younger, even more than I loved reading it now, and it would be so helpful to a child in Eleanor's situation. It's hard, especially as a kid, when someone you care about moves away. This book captured that perfectly. less
