Martha, No!

by

Edward Hardy
Illustrator: Deborah Allwright

Irrepressibly curious, brimming with energy, Martha Felicity Molly-Ann May has an awfully long name for a tiny girl - and is a bit of a handful. When new Nanny, Mrs Harrington-Chive arrives, Martha's mother does warn her… but undaunted, Mrs H-C and Martha embark on a day of improving activities.

 

However, wherever they go, Martha just can’t help but end up in trouble: ‘Martha… NO!’ One frazzled Nanny later, the only solution is for Mother to take charge to which Martha says ‘YES!’

 

The exuberant joyfulness of this rolling, rhyming story expresses Martha’s boundless enthusiasm – with part of the fun in anticipating the inevitable ‘Martha… NO!’, beautifully partnered with detailed illustrations, wittily using colour and space. Enormous fun!
