My Naughty Little Sister

(10 reviews)

Author: Dorothy Edwards Illustrator: Shirley Hughes

Publisher: Farshore

This affectionate portrait of family life is the story of a naughty three-year-old sister who is obstinate, inquisitive and full of mischief. She tries to cut off the cat's tail, eats all the trifle at Harry's party and gets up to all kinds of other antics, involving a wobbly tooth, a visit to the doctor, and a traumatic encounter with Father Christmas.

First published in the 1950s, Dorothy Edwards' much-loved My Naughty Little Sister books were inspired by memories of her own sister, and will particularly resonate with older siblings. Shirley Hughes' illustrations make a pitch-perfect accompaniment to this perennial favourite.
