My Naughty Little Sister

Shirley Hughes’s original illustration from the late 1960s goes some way to explaining the extreme reaction that follows. We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic.

My Naughty Little Sister has charmed generations of adults and children alike thanks to Dorothy Edwards’ playful stories and Shirley Hughes’ beautiful illustrations.But when she has measles she's itchy and sad and grumpy and has to stay in bed and can't be naughty at all! She delighted in visiting schools and meeting children, her warmth and obvious enthusiasm held audiences spellbound. Shirley Hughes as ever manages to convey the sense of the childlike with a sense of time and place in her illustrations.

As this story climaxes with the child biting the hand of Father Christmas after he has given her the doll that she wants, I would argue that naughty probably is the right adjective here.

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. There is no way a 3 year old would want to look at some of the stuff the book suggests but I will save more for my review of the 1001 books book.
