'Jemima and Jake's new babysitter doesn't look too promising. In fact she looks very sensible, very old and VERY small (she only comes up to daddy's armpit!). But the moment their parents leave the house, Marge gives a mischievous wink, takes off her hat and reveals a marvellous mane of rainbow-coloured hair!
'Marge really is a babysitter like no other and the children spend a wild evening with her - racing snails, slurping chocolate soup and mixing potions in the bath! But if Jake and Jemima want her to babysit again it's time for them to take charge of Marge, tidy up and settle her down for a little sleep.' (Publication summary)

Things do SOMETIMES go off the rails when Marge is around but Jakey and Jemima don't mind that. Marge is back and this time she's taking the Button family on a train journey. When Mum and Dad go out for a 'romantic' (i.e., BORING) dinner, Marge takes the kids on an adventure of their own. Jakey's always longed to drive a train—and with Marge around to turn ordinary life extraordinary, there's a good chance his wish might come true!'
