The Baby-sitter’s Club book series to get cover redesigns with relaunch of backlist

In April 2010, Scholastic will publish repackaged titles from Ann M. Martin’s “The Baby-sitter’s Club” series along with a prequel titled The Summer Before. We aren’t sure what the redesigned covers for the first 20 books in the series will look like, but we spotted a thumbnail for the prequel on the NYT site (seen above).

“…The Baby-Sitters Club, which ran from 1986 through 2000, garnered an ardent following among preteenage girls throughout its run of 213 titles, with the publisher ultimately printing 176 million copies.

I still have at least 10-15 books upstairs…and I even read most of The Baby-Sitter’s Little Sister series as well.
