During my days in middle school, I was a huge Babysitter’s Club fan! I read all the books, including the Little Sister’s series. I even owned the movie! It was absolutely terrible, but I wore that old VHS tape out! I was obsessed with this amazing club of best friends that created a booming babysitting empire.
I so wanted to be one of them until I realized that many of my friends hated babysitting. My dreams of having my own club were crushed but at least I could live vicariously through the lives of Kristy, Stacie, Claudia, Mary-Ann, and Malory.
When I saw that they were bringing back the Babysitter’s Club series, I was ecstatic! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the updated version of my childhood favorites. (Sad to know that I was 30 when this all went down, but no judgment in book world!)
The moment I picked up the first book in the series and saw how brightly illustrated and modern it looked, I knew my beloved series was officially back on top!
The decision to turn the Babysitter’s Club into a graphic novel series was just absolutely brilliant and revolutionary. It has been years since I have seen any of my students carrying around one of my beloved Babysitter’s Club books.
Now, they all are reading them. Boys and girls alike cannot get enough of the Babysitter’s Club Graphic Novel Series! I literally cannot keep these books on my bookshelf in my classroom
Kristy’s Big Day is the sixth book in the Graphix series of Babysitter’s Club. This one is was illustrated and adapted from Ann M. Martin’s original book by Gail Galligan. Gail Galligan is the second illustrator who has worked on the Babysitter’s Club Graphix series. The original illustrator was Raina Telgemeier.
Kristy’s Big Day tells the story of Kristy and her family preparing for her mom’s marriage to Watson. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the wedding has to take place in a manner of weeks. Kristy’s mom is panicked and in desperate need of help. Enter in the Babysitter’s Club.
The Babysitter’s Club agrees to help to babysit all the kids that are in town for the wedding. How many kids are we talking about? That number would be 13 kids that our favorite babysitters need to take care of for an entire week. Naturally, with that many kids and a big wedding happening, this get chaotic!
I absolutely recommend any book in this series. The idea to revitalize this beloved series was just amazing! Any upper elementary to an adult reader would enjoy the new Babysitter's Club Graphix series!

Kristy Voluntarily Wears a Dress
This is my first Gale Galligan BSC graphic novel adaptation. I’ve already read three of Raina Telgemeier’s adaptations so it was almost impossible not to compare the two. I love Raina’s style and had wanted her to continue adapting the entire series.I like Gale’s style as well so it was more a matter of me getting used to seeing the babysitters looking different. Gale dyes a section of Claudia’s hair, just like Raina did. However, Gale has also given Stacey a haircut, which didn’t sit with me as a BSC purist that well, even though it looks cute.While the plot remains the same, I noticed many more minor differences between the book and this graphic novel than I have with Raina’s adaptations. I’m not mentioning all of the differences here as there are too many, but here are some of them.Book: Watson’s mansion has three floors and an attic.Graphic novel: The illustration of Watson’s mansion shows two floors and an attic.Book: Mallory isn’t a member of the BSC yet.Graphic novel: Mallory is mentioned as the sixth member of the BSC.Book: Watson’s parents being religious is not mentioned.Graphic novel: Kristy’s mother talks about Watson’s parents being religious as one of the reasons why she and Watson need to get married before the Thomas’ move to the Brewer mansion.Book: Kristy mentions having two windows in her childhood bedroom.Graphic novel: I can only see one window in Kristy’s childhood bedroom in the illustrations.Kristy arrives late to a BSC meeting and asks if there are any calls.Book: Sam’s prank call was, ‘Hello, this is Marmee March. I need a sitter for Amy tonight, someone who has experience with little women.’Graphic novel: Sam asks for a sitter with ‘experience with lots of smelly farts.’The book version was better.Book: Claudia searches for junk food under her bed.Graphic novel: Claudia finds some junk food on a shelf in her closet.Book: Claudia says Trevor is probably dating his poetry by now.Graphic novel: Claudia says Trevor is probably dating his guitar by now.Book: Sam and Kristy have their talk about David Michael’s Citizenship Award on the back porch.Graphic novel: Sam and Kristy have their talk about David Michael’s Citizenship Award in the kitchen.Book: Mallory isn’t a member of the BSC yet so she’s not babysitting with them.Graphic novel: Mallory gets put in Kristy’s babysitting group.Book: Nannie’s Pink Clinker has a pink plastic flower attached to the antenna and a stuffed koala hanging from the rearview mirror.Graphic novel: The pink plastic flower and the antenna are missing and stuffed koala is now some fuzzy dice. There’s a heart on the bonnet that I liked. The Pink Clinker looks closer to red than pink to me.Book: When they’re cleaning the house, Charlie has the floor cleaner, Sam has the vacuum cleaner, Kristy has paper towels and Windex, and David Michael has rags and furniture polish.Graphic novel: When they’re cleaning the house, Charlie is vacuuming, Sam is cleaning the windows, Kristy is tidying, and David Michael is dusting.Book: Stacey calls Mary Anne from the movies using a pay phone.Graphic novel: Stacey calls Mary Anne from the movies using her own phone.Book: David Michael gets his hair cut by Mr Pratt.Graphic novel: David Michael gets his hair cut by Mr Gates, the one who’s previously made him look like an owl.Book: In the practice wedding performed by the kids, ‘holy matrimony’ becomes ‘holy moly’.Graphic novel: In the practice wedding performed by the kids, ‘holy matrimony’ becomes ‘holy guacamole’.Book: When Karen explains why having white flowers at the wedding are a disaster, it’s because white magic will mix with Morbidda Destiny’s black magic.Graphic novel: When Karen explains why having white flowers at the wedding are a disaster, it’s because evil witches use white flowers in their magic and Morbidda Destiny will be able to sense them from next door.Book: Kristy’s rehearsal dinner dress is white with woven silver designs.Graphic novel: Kristy’s rehearsal dinner dress is green and blue.Book: Kristy’s bridesmaid shoes are yellow.Graphic novel: Kristy’s bridesmaid shoes are white.Also, the clothes the kids wear in their practice wedding are different and the kids are positioned differently in the photo that’s taken of them on the couch. Karen freaks out at the wedding a little later than she did in the book and it’s Karen who accepts Mrs Porter’s present, not Watson. I can’t imagine Karen touching anything Morbidda Destiny has touched for fear of her magic.I liked Claudia’s drawing lesson, where she explains how to draw simple roses. My favourite illustration shows some of the wedding scenes.I’m rounding up from 4.5 stars.
