I voted for MA + 2 Many Babies because I can't stand it when words are spelled incorrectly. At least the incorrect spelling of "friend" was crossed out.

Claudia's Freind Friend really annoyed me. I love spelling and am quite good at it so yeah that crossed out put me off reading the book for absolutely ages.

At least it was crossed out. MA + 2 Many Babies was spelled incorrectly intentionally.

Me too, I hated that they had a crossed out word on the cover.

Out of these titles, I picked Claudia's Freind Friend because the other titles don't annoy me as much.

I'm not particularly bothered by any of those titles, but I voted for Mary Anne + 2 Many Babies. The other two titles are spelt that way for reasons that make sense in their respective books, but with Mary Anne's title...why write the title in that weird style for no reason?

^Maybe they used the number 2 rather than "too" because she was watching twins for the whole book. I don't know...Anyway, I kinda liked the oddball titles. Little me thought they were cool.

MA + 2 many babies always bothered me, because with MA and too many boys they spelled all the words right. it would have been fine if BOTH were spelled out, or both were abbreviated like that, but since they were different it was annoying.

I hate Mary Anne + 2 Many Babies because there's no reason for it at all! Why not just "Mary Anne and Too Many Babies"? Plus, there are only two babies, right? (Plus the home ec eggs or whatever... it's been a while since I read that one.) Stupid.
I'm not bothered by Kristy + Bart = ? because that one is at least phrased like a math question. It would have been weird written out: "Kristy Plus Bart Equals WTF"
I'm not as bothered by Claudia's Freind Friend because otherwise, if it were just Claudia's Friend, it would be like... ooookay. What's distinguishing about that? Totally fine with the We <3 Kids Club.

I chose MA + 2 Many Babies as well. I don't like using numbers where words should be. I think the crossed out freind friend is cute, though.

I'm wanting to say Claudia's Freind Friend because the crossed out title always bothered me when I was a kid and looking at the list of books on the inside of the covers. But I have to say that this is the 1st book I read in adulthood which inspired me to get back into the BSC. I found it at a garage sale, bought it, and was hooked again!

Mary Anne vs Logan is an annoying title to me because the only person she was truly up against was herself. Logan, as I've said before, seemed to be an easy target. I'm not saying that in this book he wasn't very out of character because he was. I would like to believe that "early" Logan was more who he really was. Maybe that is just me wishing I would meet my own "Logan" already. A "real" man, who is as sweet as Logan sometimes came across to be Lol, his image on this cover didn't hurt either.
