Robin Preiss Glasser.
While studying for his Emergency Preparedness test for the Junior Adventurers, Joel is roped into baby-sitting for the toddler next door and has to cope with falling highchairs, messy diapers, and his best friend's videotaping all of Joel's goofs. What if he can't handle these minor emergencies? The slapstick catastrophes make this light, fast-paced novel, illustrated with black-and-white drawings, an amusing read.
