Character Confidential: 3 Qs Claudia of the BSC

If you've ever read one of Ann Martin's Baby-sitters Club books, you know that everyone has a favorite baby-sitter, the one they relate to best. If you are a leader who likes sports, you love Kristy. And if you want to save the world, you are Dawn. Responsible girls love Mary Anne. Stacey is the role model for big-city (and aspiring big-city) girls. And my favorite baby-sitter was always Claudia. She was artistic, and I thought I was. She was crafty, and I actually was too. Claudia wore amazing outfits, and I had a great pair of rainbow leggings. And more than anything, I still want a book that is hollowed out so that I can hide candy inside.

So I would love to ask her:

1. What's your favorite color?

If Claudia's so into art, I feel like one of the books should have been mentioned somewhere what her favorite color is, but I can't for the life of me remember. Maybe she's like me — why pick one favorite color when all the colors are so great?

2. What's your favorite pair of shoes?

My favorite pair of shoes are a pair of gray, suede, slouchy boots. I'm betting Claudia's are a lot more colorful.

3. Where did you get that candy-hiding book?

No, really. I want one so bad.

Who's your favorite baby-sitter? What would you ask her?

You know, I think my favorite is either mary anne, or stacey. I really just love them both!

I love Claudia, but I don't think I could pick a favorite! They each have aspects that I relate to :)

But I think your questions to Claud are great - I would add, "Do you think you'll ever be close to your sister Janine?"
