Naughty little girls have more fun

These dozen stories about the high-spirited young sister of the narrator are meant to be read aloud. The naughty little sister has an indulgent father, a disciplinarian mother, and a disapproving older sister who tries to make moral tales out of the bad sister. (The story about her father having to look after her all day was at the beginning of the book, but it would have been a funny comeuppance for the father later in the book.) But children will identify with the physically active and inquisitive little sister, her thoughtless antics, and the inevitable consequences, such as falling off the gate or eating too much spongy trifle. These British stories were written in the 1950s and may require some explanation for American children, but anyone who has had to put up with a bossy, goody-goody sibling like the narrator will enjoy the fun and friends of the naughty little sister, even as they see the mistakes she makes.

Love It!

When I was little my parents would read me this book and it was halarious to me at the age of 4. This book will amuse any child and even parents. Best of all they are true stories. I give it 10 stars !

Very nice!

The words is easy to understand, and the story is very good. I love it

Enjoyable, but politically incorrect.

This book is very reminiscent of my English childhood and will amuse adults and children alike. Similar ilk to Milly-Molly-Mandy. Be warned, however, there is much use of the word 'bad' in relation to children rather than children's behaviour, some parents may object to this. My 5-year-old found the naughty little sister's antics quite hilarious and greatly enjoyed the short, lively chapters and lovely illustrations. I would recommend this book for little children who would appreciate the English references.
