The twenty-two cul-de-sac children range from babies to about nine years old, making this a great story for children learning to read. The lack of graphics makes it hard for the youngest set to enjoy, but with great voice inflection, a parent or teacher could make the story a wonderful read out loud book. In Baby for Sale, Megan and her friends learn many lessons, which are especially applicable to children. What they learn about the toys they own, and their worth to other kids, makes for an educating tale filled with adventure. Add in the jealousy factor and sibling rivalry and I think Betty Jo Schuler creates a wonderful story for the younger generation.

Ms. Schuler has written numerous books for children and adults, and has published 11 e-books to date. Three of her titles have been EPPIES finalists: Camp Cheer, Winning Chance, and No Rain, No Rainbows.

Baby for Sale is another incredible book by talented author Betty Jo Schuler.

In Baby for Sale, the cul-de-sac boys are back! Max and Alex Bailey want to buy more toys, so they gather up some old toys to sell at the "block yard sale" on Greenwillow Lane. Max wants to buy jealous Megan Whitney's baby brother, Jon that she has up for sale for only ten cents. George and his friend Jeffie figure that the baby can't be any good if she is only selling him for ten cents. There has to be something wrong with him.

All the boys learn how to sell, trade, and buy things that their neighbors don't want anymore, but when baby Jon disappears, everyone, including Megan who realizes just how much she truly loves her brother, decides to search for him.

Where did baby Jon go? Did someone baby-nap him? Did he wonder off by himself?

Find out for yourself by reading Ms. Schuler's children's chapter book Baby for Sale. This book is full of exciting twists, delightful surprises, and humorous child-like dialogue.

Ms. Schuler, once again, has captured the imagination and reasoning that goes on in a young child's head. I enjoyed reading her book and I can't wait for her to write more. I highly recommend this book.
