Gordon's parents are going out and Gordon is being left in the safe hands of a new babysitter - with the sort of name that really should have alerted Gordon's parents to her possible unsuitability for the job!
Lily Jigg Popsicle is more interested in playing than babysitting but she has a hard job of persuading Gordon to join in. It is not until she plays at supersonic space ships that she finally cracks Gordon's shell of respectability, and after that, it is fun, fun, fun.
A humorous and delightful picture book that will refresh adult readers minds about the need to juggle doughnuts - and surprise some children who may not know that grown ups like being naughty too.
