Mr. Pudgins by Ruth Christoffer Carlsen
If you ever wished for your sink faucet to give you soda instead of water, that your reflection in the mirror would come to life or that you could fly away on balloons, then Mr. Pudgins is a fantastical story that will keep you reading. This Retro-Read from 1951 has a similiarity to Mary Poppins, as Mr. Pudgins is the babysitter to three kids, John, Jand and Pete. But there is a warmth to Mr. Pudgins and the family that isn't found in Mary Poppins.
At the beginning of the story Mother isn't very keen on Mr. P because after his first babysitting adventure, there is a scratch left on the stove and popcorn on the ceiling. What Mother didn't know is that they needed to get a bear off the stove and make it disappear.
Each chapter is a wonderful adventure into childhood imagination. Enjoyment for all age levels, younger grades would especially love.
