NAUGHTY NANCY (reissue) [Hardcover]

John S Goodall (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up

Nancy was to be the flower girl in her sister's wedding -- a large church affair, with an elegant reception in the garden afterward. Nancy could hardly contain her excitement -- there were so many things with which to experiment. From riding up the aisle on her sister's long rain instead of holding it up to hiding in her sister's going-away trunk, she tried them all!

This tale of a funny, irrepressible, venturesome mouse who innocently causes one crisis after another -- by the artist who created Creepy Castle and Shrewbettinas Birthday -- will delight all beholders as it unfolds in lovely full color, without words and with half-pages that carry along a narrative full of delightful surprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming story, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NAUGHTY NANCY (reissue) (Hardcover)

A charming wordless book with intricate, detailed illustrations. I checked these books out of the public library and my children enjoyed them immensely. I have been periodically checking Amazon.com for the past two years and I see that some of the books have been reprinted. Naughty Nancy kept my children entertained at age two. They loved to turn the pages to see what was behing the half page. Because there are no words, you can make up the story as long or as short as you wish. I think that young children can easily relate to the antics of Naughty Nancy. Nancy is allowed to be in her sister's wedding, but she gets into mischief constantly right up to the end when her sister leaves on her honeymoon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book is back!, April 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NAUGHTY NANCY (reissue) (Hardcover)

As a child I loved this amusing tale of a mouse who gets to be a flower girl. Each scene changes with the flip of a half page which I found intriguing. As an adult, I once tried to find the book and it was out of print. I'm thrilled to see that it's back! Every child with a mischevious heart will enjoy this book. Nancy is naughty!

This review is from: NAUGHTY NANCY (reissue) (Hardcover)

My sister and I used to repeatedly check this book out from the library when we were little. I'm 35 now and she's 31. I purchased this book for my 3 year old and we have read it every night since. There are no words to this story, so the adults can embelish upon the story in any way they choose. My daughter also loves to "read" this story on her own as she can tell the story just by looking at the pictures. The art work is beautifully done as well. My daughter laughs continuously throughout the story, especially when Nancy sits in the baptismal font and gets a wet bottom. This book is a must have for avid readers.
