Josie Smith at School
Illustrated by Pirkko Vainto
It's Not Fair!
Illustrated by Margaret Chamberlain
Josie Smith and Kitty in It's Not Fair! come from an honourable line of realistic, funny and warm-hearted little girls which began with Milly-Molly-Mandy, went on to My Naughty Little Sister and is now represented by such as Melanie Brown and Fancy Nancy. These stories are entirely convincing, often very funny (I especially liked the chaos at the school concert in Josie Smith at School) and will be instantly enjoyed by 6 to 8 year-olds who'll recognise both Josie, the well-meaning, and Kitty, the cheeky. And their schools!
