Eight year old Eleanor loves her babysitter, Bibi, a "million trillion'. Unfortunately, Bibi has to leave New York to go to Florida to care for her ill father. Everyone misses her terribly. Suddenly the things Eleanor used to do with Bibi like eating pizza and riding her bike aren't fun any more. Her mother tries to make her feel better by baking cookies and making grilled cheese sandwiches. She offers something special for breakfast - chocolate chip pancakes, cinnamon toast with extra cinnamon...or pickle juice on a cookie. This would be an excellent read-aloud for the beginning of 3rd grade or a letter-writing unit.
"There's nothing better than reading."
