My naughty little sister is always doing silly things. She's curious about what's in the chimney, so she sticks a feather duster up there. When all the soot falls out, she tries to hide it! But when she has measles she's itchy and sad and grumpy and has to stay in bed—and can't be naughty at all! How long before she's bad again?

About the Author:

Dorothy Edwards is most famous for creating the My Naughty Little Sister character, which she dreamt up to keep her daughter quiet while on a family holiday in 1950. She went on to write five books about her naughty little sister with wide acclaim. Shirley Hughes has written and illustrated more than 200 books. Her many awards include the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Eleanor Farjeon Award.

From AudioFile:

These old-fashioned, quintessentially English stories are quite charming to listen to, as much for their British details as for the funny character sketches they contain. Jan Francis does a lovely job narrating these tales. We meet such friends as kindly Mr. and Mrs. Cocoa Jones, a pleasant and helpful train guard, and cross Mrs. Lock, all of whom Jan Francis endows with their own voices and personalities. Her ability to create the high-pitched voice of the little sister and to answer it with the solicitous, comfortable tone of elderly Mrs. Cocoa Jones is really impressive, and the stories will engage young listeners who know all about getting into trouble.
