Read by Jan Francis
These are leisurely but exciting, home-centred stories for young children. The Lion insists on going to school with the Little Girl and frightens off the school bully. Judy's crooked finger gives her everything she points at, which makes for trouble when she points at the sweet shop; whilst the Great Sharp Scissors cut anything - and that means the table and the sofa legs. Jan Francis is an expressive reader with convincing characterisation and these nine stories, combining security with flights of imagination, make good bedtime or Infants' storytime listening.
