Re reading this thread jogged my memory of what my first Little sister book was. I was in first grade and my teacher had a copy of Little sister super special " Karen's plane trip". That was the book that started it all...

I can't remember 100% what my first BSC book was, but I'm almost positive it was Jessi's Secret Language. It was one of like, 4 BSC books my library had at the time. Now looking back on how absolutely boring that book is, it's a wonder I kept reading them. The first BSC book I owned was definitely Mallory's Christmas Wish. I got it as a stocking stuffer on Christmas Eve and stayed up all night reading it while I waited for Santa. I remember that because when I woke up that Christmas one of my presents was a box set with books 1-4.

The first one that I owned was "Kristy and the Baby Parade" (Or it might have been Kristy's Great Idea actually). I didn't actually READ either of those two though (until I was older anyway). I honestly don't remember the first one I read. It might have been "Jessi and the Dance School Phantom" I think that was it actually. The first Little Sister book I read was "Karen's Goldfish".

I read Karen's Big Joke when I was about 7 and then I got Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise and worked my way around the series from there.

The first one I owned and the first one I read was "Kristy and the Secret of Susan." I got it right before summer camp and felt super cool because I had it before the other girls in my tent. I remember a friend telling me she never read the second chapter. I totally didn't get it at the time...

The first one I read was Mary Anne Saves the Day. I think Baby-Sitters on Board was the first one I owned.

Hmm,... I think my first BSC book was Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever, which I didn't like too much... and turned away from the BSC for a while, but then about a year later someone gave me a few BSC books as a gift, which included Miss Stoneybrook... and Dawn, Kristy and the Haunted Mansion, and Kristy's Big Day.... after reading these, I was hooked! ^ Klaudiarulz, haha... that's funny about the chapter two's ;D

teh first BSC Related book I ever read was Karen's Ducklings, #26. I'm not sure what the first BSC book I ever read was though but it might have been California Girls SS #5.After that I was hooked. I'd already been reading the BAby-Sitters Little Sister books, and in third grade started reading the BSC books. I remember this older girl sitting next to me on the bus with Mallory and the Ghost Cat when I was in second grade, and thinking it was a little sister book, but i noticed the titling was different

I used to read the Karen books when I first started to read, and I always wanted to read BSC but Mum was like "It'll be too old for you" (she thought it'd be too hard, and also that, them being really older than me at the time, it'd be too old for me). But of course I moved on to BSC and I have no idea what the first book I read was, but the first one I owned was Kristy's Great Idea cos I ordered them from a book club (only sent to #60 though and I was dissapointed)

I started off reading the Little Sister books *hangs head in shame*. My older cousin had collected all of the books until book 50 or something, and she mentioned that Karen's sister had her own series. So she gave me a book with Karen on the cover--'Kristy's Big Day' and i was hooked from there.

I started off reading the Little Sister books *hangs head in shame*. Aw, poor Karen. I wish I would have started reading LS books as I love them now. But I didn't even appreciate them when I started reading them 5 or so years ago and have just started loving them within the past 2 or so years. Also wish I would have started reading BSC earlier and read more of them as a kid. As it was, I tried to read more "adult" books because that's what kids who can read good are supposed to do.

I joined that book club too (even though I hadmost of the earlier books...but I still joined because i wanted to later books)...but neway, they stopped sending them when I got to the thirties..which stinks. BTW i went to the local waldenbooks at the mall...and ordered two BSC Books...lmao I think the girl there thought i was crazy (too bad most of them weren't available )

Little did she know that at the time my niece was one week old...

I got Karen's Rollerskates @ a bookfair in 2nd grade, and then in 3rd grade, I discovered Dawn & the Big Sleepover @ another bookfair, so I just started reading BSC books from then on. I still have both books, with my name in pink ink in my loopy elementary school cursive.
