Hi guys:

I've been hunting for a children's book that I read in 4th grade or so, which would have been about 1978. It was most surely written long before that, maybe in the 60's since the copy I had was yellowing.

It's an obscure book, can't remember the title, but it is about a group of children who end up with a wacky babysitter (who either was a dodo bird or had a dodo bird as a pet or something).

The babysitter is a fantastical person of course, and turns all the faucets in the house so that they all run different flavors of soda pop instead of water. There is also some flying sort of like bedknobs and broomsticks but it was book not a movie.

Anyone remember this book?

Thanks,

Shelly

Quinn! Thanks so much, I even searched Google and Amazon for keywords babysitter, bathtub, soda pop, and I couldn't find this link. You must be better at search than I am.

Thanks!!
