My Naughty Little Sister's Friends
Attractive new editions of Dorothy Edwards' now classic stories. The first collection is now thirty years old, yet still retains the power of an immediate narrative by a storyteller who knows what appeals to the 5's to 7's. It's easy to mistake for tweeness a genuine sincerity and knowledge of the kinds of story experience the age group loves. Super sources of storytelling for infant teachers.
The later collection introduces a wider gallery of characters and the storytelling is, if anything, more involving and vigorous. The two collections are very good value (15 stories in the first; 10 in the second). Include some of each in the bookshop. Shirley Hughes' marvellous pictures are by now inseparable from Dorothy Edwards' characters. Who else could catch the wrinkles, folds and stances of infant school children so well?
