The Naughtiest Girl Set, 10 Books, RRP 49.99 (Naughtiest Girl in the School,... Paperback – January 1, 2010

I have been very disappointed with the new crops of children's books I found in the library and reading requirements from school. until I found Enid Bylton 's children's books. I bought the Famous 5 and Naughtiest Girl! My little girl is completely charmed by the books! It is such a shamed that entire Long Island library system do not have any of these wonderful children's books!When your 7 years old asked to read just another page please, it felt good.Granted the books are published 70+years ago, and some of the stuff is a little out dated, like my Little one have no idea what a Gramophone is, so we had fun looking it up and find on YouTube how the thing works! Yes, over the summer, my little one finished one of the Famous 5 and one of the Naughtiest Girl! She loves them! We draw the main characters in the book, and she found out that how I imagine the characters and how she imagined is different, makes her think!I especially love the messages and morals of the stories I like my child to learn! Granted it is not the most diverse in physical character, but the personalities are!

What is interesting is that it is a good book and fun, but not exactly modern.The parents want to teach their wealthy, naughty child how to be a good girl and nice to others. She is an only child and a spoilt brat and her parents think she needs to be around other children and learn how to get along with others at a boarding school for girls.She is very attractive and has a good brain and they want her "To work hard, get good grades, be obedient, share with other children, be quiet, clean, have good manners..." At this, one thinks that this is not a modern idea of children. You may wish that more children were like this, but today's way of thinking of children is quite different. Manners? Quiet? Obedient? Work hard?Anyway, it's one way of looking at raising children back in the '40's and 1950's. And you can spend time with some different values for children for a while in this fun and interesting period book.

This was a great look back at a different time and place. Loved the story but one aspect that disturbed me was how all the children at the school had to give up all their food gifts and money and put them in a pool for the good of all. Scary. However, I would glady recommend this book.

I ❤️ Enid Blyton! I read ALL her books as a little girl myself and I am thrilled to find them again on Amazon.com! I have introduced my 7 year old to her books and she loves reading about the Naughtiest girl! When she done with this boxset, I will purchase the other Enid Blyton boxset, and I can't wait for her to start reading about The Famous Five!🤩

good

Excellent book! Came in good condition!

My 10 and 7 yr old boys loved listening to this despite it being a story about "a naughty girl" - they are Enid Blyton fans and love the Famous Five audio stories we have on CD. Enid Blyton is not well known in the US which is a shame. Arrived in good time from the UK.

I didn't hate it but is was not an awesomebook I'll give About three stars to this bookbut if you do like things like Junie B jonesthen don't hesitate to read it!!!!!!!
