School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-Originally written in the 1950's for the BBC radio program Listen with Mother, these stories about the Naughty Little Sister were loosely based on author Dorothy Edwards's memories of her own childhood and her naughty little sister. For the 50th anniversary edition, all four collections of the Naughty Little Sister stories were published in one volume (Clarion Books, 1991). In each tale, the Naughty Little Sister always does something dreadful. In one story, she misbehaves for the photographer at his studio when he tries to take her picture, while in another she jumps on and otherwise abuses her old cot, stopping only when she gets her big girl's bed. At the end of each tale, the wise older sister sees the humor of her younger sibling's actions. British actress Jan Francis provides a charming reading, with slight vocal inflections to indicate the different characters. This collection offers a time warp back into an age of innocence and would be perfect to share with precocious little girls.-Stephanie Bange, Wilmington-Stroop Branch, Dayton Metro Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
