Mr. Pudgins (Nancy Pearl's Book Crush Rediscoveries) Paperback – May 26, 2015

Love this book! Such a great story!

Nancy Pearl's Rediscoveries are beyond wonderful! Can't leave a review on one for an OR author, but can on this one. This book was read when I was a kid, of course. It has always been a favorite and the adventures the family has with this old man babysitter, Mr. Pudgins, are crazy, fun, and when they grow out of him, it makes you cry a bit. One of my most remembered chapters is when the kids sell soda instead of lemonade. The soda comes from different faucets in the house and one faucet, after the parents return, has an 'odd' orange rust color. Or so the parents think!!! A great memory of the orange soda pop that came from that particular spigot! Am glad to get it in E form to read over and over and over.

This was my favorite book in the 6th grade. I’d frequently check it out of the library. I was finally able to use the description from one of the stories to search the title. I think young people will enjoy the adventures as much as I did and still do at 65 years old!

I remember reading this book in grammar school back in the 1950s. Cute little stories for kids, especially the tale of Mr P. trying to fix the plumbing in the house.

This was the first book I ever read cover to over as a young child. I've often thought about it over the 60 years since. I actually purchased it recently to re read it and found it as magical as I did at 7 years old. It was written in 1951 and would be just as much fun and imagination provoking for a child today. Highly recommend. It would make a great bedtime story book to read a chapter at a time. Each chapter is a story in itself.

A pleasant fantasy concerning an unconventional babysitter who smokes his way into adventures. Each chapter is a new adventure. Mr. Pudgins lights up his pipe and away he and his three charges go.At least he’s a whole lot nicer than Mary Poppins!

This book was a favorite of my kids when they were younger. I was surprised to see I could still purchase it. I did for my grandkids. Now they can read this fun book about Mr. Pudgins who is a magical babysitter

Read this as a kid
