Charming
I first read this book as a little girl, my sister then read it, now I have introduced them to my daughter. This is a book for all to enjoy, I recently read a few stories to my daughter and the memories came flooding back. Who can resist someone so deliciously naughty but has had heart of gold on the inside. Go on be transported back to a world of hot buttered toast and piping hot tea, you will love it and so will youre kids!

My Naughty Little Sister
I bought this book for my 4 1/2 year old grandaughter. She absolutely loved it. Each story is short enough for bedtime, and she could not wait for mummy or daddy to read the next story, (a good way of getting children to bed I would say)!!. She says it is her 'favourite' book ever!! This has inspired me to order other books in this series. She has two younger twin sisters who, I am sure, will love this book when they are old enough to have bedtime stories read to them. Great read and fantastic.

memories...
my mother use to read these books to me and my older sister.i'm 19 now and remember just how great they are and how they always taught me and my sister a moral lesson every story we read. it always made us feel guilty if we had done something naughty that day!! also the illistrations are bright and colourful and helps the child's imagination adapt to the story more. they're great for bedtime reading!!
