Best book buy of the holidays so far. Nanny McPhee is one of my most favourite kids movies. And Nurse Matilda is the book it is based on.
I have been looking out for this book for a couple of years. And finally found it at Anglesea op shop. I read it in an hour. The kids are going to love it … Such naughty children …
… this is what they were doing:
Francesca had filled the Tiny Baby’s bottle with baby-food and was feeding the dogs with it.
Little Quentin had drawn flowers all up the walls and was watering them from the big brown nursery teapot.
Antony was filling up the nursery inkwells with runny red jam.
Nicholas had collected all the Little Ones’ dolls and was lining them up for execution.
Sophie was shampooing Henrietta’s hair with glue.
All the other children were doing simply dreadful things too.
Don’t you think?
That was absolutely my favourite book as a child ( well that and Pollyanna ).
So jealous.

Lucky kids (and you). Might need to do a bit of ‘borrowing’ later on!
