The Babysitters Club Friendship Kit CD-ROM is based on Scholastic's best-selling book series by Ann M. Martin. As "the newest members of the club", children interact with each of the club members. Club members show them how to use an address and birthday book, keep a private journal with their own secret password, and create personalized greeting cards and stationery. Children receive personalized virtual mail from club members, and play a Jigsaw Puzzle and Stoneybrook Map game.
