The baby-sitters club

What I thought about the book was it was a really good book because i loved her bad joke They were really good. I don't know why the book is called Claudia and the bad joke.

I love it

I think "Claudia and the bad joke,"is fun because Claudia baby sits a girl and she likes to play jokes, and one of the joke was on the swings and Claudia said that they should do a contest of who could go the farthest and the girl said okay ,but she forgot the swing was broken because of her joke and Claudia fell on the ground and broke her leg.

really cool!

"Claudia and the bad joke" was cool. I liked it because Betsy Sobak didn't mean to let Claudia fall down and break her leg. She could've told Claudia that the swing was broken.
