In the new-to-me Baby-sitters Club book I'm reading, narrator Claudia informs us she will introduce the baby-sitters by explaining what animal they would be. Kristy, for example, would be a dog, because she is loyal and hardworking. I was interrupted before I got to read what the rest of them would be, so I don't know yet, but
Kristy ... a dog, because she is loyal and hardworking (given)
Mary Anne ... a cat, because I suspect those that have animals will be given those animals, but also because she is clean, solitary, and likes yarn
Claudia ... human, because she is capable of creating representational art and moral reasoning (remember, Claudia is the narrator here!!)
Stacey ... a mink or otter, because of her glossy coat
Dawn ... a dingo, because she is cute, but she bites, and you will never, ever tame her
Mallory ... a mole, because she has poor vision and prefers to stay in her burrow
Jessi ... a honeybee, because she communicates by dancing
Logan ... an ox, because he is strong and dependable but also somewhat slow on the uptake
Shannon ... a honeybee, because she serves a valuable function but has a powerful sting
What do you think?? I think I am probably not correct, especially since I said multiple people were bees.

I agree that Claudia (and everyone else on the list) is most like a human, but I don't think Claudia would go for that! Creative types are always like, "Oh, I really identify with wolves" or whatever. Claudia is a MAGPIE because she likes to make beautiful piles of shiny forks.

Good point on Mary Anne too. She might also be a turtle, since she hides in her shell.
