#45 - Kristy and the Baby Parade

Timeline
Okay so still no real timeline is mentioned. Kristy mentions it’s gloomy but not really cold. So like March? But it’s also nice enough for a parade to be planned. So who knows. 

Plot
Okay so Mrs. Prezziso wants the club to start babysitting Andrea (her new baby) but wants them to go through a baby training course first. They all do, and guess who aces the final? Kristy, of course. 

So after the baby class is over, the girls move right on to their next project which is entering a float in the Stoneybrook baby parade. What is that, you ask? An entire fucking parade featuring only babies. Yep. So the girls fight over the float theme (finally “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe”wins), they fight over the decor, they fight over the colors, they fight over the costumes.  The float sucks. 

Kristy also helps Mrs. P with Andrea’s stroller entry, where she dresses up like a queen. She wins. 

The girls realize they were all kind of dicks and it didn’t work out bc none of them worked together. Lesson learned. 

Takeaways
How are there so many babies in Stoneybrook that they need an entire parade? And only kids under 3 are allowed. WTF?! 

When I was a kid I hated this book. But it’s kind of hilarious as an adult. 

Building a float is so hard and Claudia does it all alone. No wonder it sucks. And then Stacey did the paint, but didn’t talk to Claudia. And Mallory did the costumes, but didn’t talk to Stacey or Claudia. And everyone else just sat around and held babies. 

Best character
I really don’t know. They all kind of suck. Maybe Mrs. P because she has this idea for the parade and Andrea - Queen Andrea - and Kristy thinks it’s just the dumbest idea ever, but then she wins. 

Worst character
I think Mallory and Stacey tie bc they don’t talk to each other at all about colors and they end up with an orange float and pink costumes.
