‘Baby-Sitters Club’ Returns With Prequel I admit it: I’m ex-ci-ted! I was a total Claudia. If I remember correctly, she was kin of the Miranda of the bunch. Of course, some time has passed since the books first came out in 1986. I particularly like this quote from Motokio Rich’s article: “Editors at Scholastic updated some of the references to technology and outdated fashions in the reissued books. So a ‘cassette player’ has become ‘headphones’ and a ‘perm’ has become ‘an expensive hairstyle.’” (via NYTimes.com)
