About this deal

This handsome edition, nicely presented in a slip-case, bring together some of the favourites, including my own, My Naughty Little Sister at the Party at which she and Bad Harry team up and raid the table before the birthday tea and Going Fishing when, of course, My Naughty Little Sister gets completely soaked even though that’s exactly what she’s promised not to do…This large format edition is perfect for introducing a new generation to this wonderful character. As I was the youngest of four, they'd already seen some duty and were inclined to jump about through scratching if you moved; so I had to remain perfectly still whilst they played. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. This treasure trove of sibling naughtiness contains all five books in the series: My Naughty Little Sister, More Naughty Little Sister Stories, My Naughty Little Sister and Bad Harry, When My Naughty Little Sister Was Good and My Naughty Little Sister's Friends.

I was expecting this book to be a picture book, since in 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up, it is included in the preschool section (3+), but I was surprised to find it was a chapter book, with very few illustrations scattered hither and yon. Well, it may have been representative of the parenting style of a generation or two before mine, but I couldn’t stand the categorization of a child as naughty on repeat. who befriend and look out for them As an adult reader, I am less wistful about the sheer amount of drudgery and female labour described within: Much of their exploits occur when the sisters are left to amuse themselves whilst their mother boils the washing, beats the carpets and scrubs the floors in a seemingly continuous loop. Despite language of yesteryear he loves these short stories which are so simple yet so very entertaining.This treasure trove of sibling naughtiness contains: My Naughty Little Sister More Naughty Little Sister Stories My Naughty Little Sister and Bad Harry When My Naughty Little Sister Was Good My Naughty Little Sister's Friends.

You can almost hear the conspiratorial humour in Dorothy Edwards’ voice as she asks readers whether they can think of ‘anything more dreadful’. More trouble from my naughty little sister – she goes exploring up a chimney and learns how to make sweets.

Edwards helped to devise the radio show Listen with Mother on which her Naughty Little Sister books were broadcast from 1950, [8] and she also wrote for Playschool and Jackanory.

This complete book felt like a sister complaining about her lil sister and also adoring her at the same time.This colour treasury special edition contains a selection of best-loved stories and is perfectly complemented by Shirley Hughes' warm and nostalgic illustrations. For fifty years, stories about the funny, loveable, mischievous little girl have enchanted children all over the world. When I was little girl, (begins all Dorothy Edwards' lovely stories- but also me today) we didn't have such things as MP3 players or even CDs or even tapes. She tries to cut off the cat's tail; she bites Santa's hand; and she and Bad Harry eat all the pudding at Harry's party. Shirley Hughes Born in 1927, as a child Shirley Hughes was greatly inspired by visits to Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery.

This is such a very terrible story about my naughty little sister that I hardly know how to tell it to you. So Bad Harry took my Naughty little sister out into the kitchen and they took chairs and climbed up to the larder shelf; which is a dangerous thing to do and it would have been their own fault if they had fallen down.Also, any adult that gives a young child a sharp pair of scissors and then leaves them alone in the room deserves the consequences.
