Naughty Nina

Author: Juliet Mickelburgh
Illustrator: AnnaLaura Cantone
Publisher: Bloomsbury

This book tells the story of Nina, a girl acknowledged by everybody – from her parents to her teachers – to be very nice. Because she is fed up with being called nice all the time and praised for her excellent manners, Nina decides to become the exact opposite: she becomes naughty. Being naughty is initially fun, albeit not for all the others, i.e. the parents, the teachers, the aunt. But after a while Nina gets bored with being naughty too; she just wants to be herself. So, in the end, Nina is a girl who is mostly nice, but can be mischievous too at times. She is, in short, a normal child.

Things we liked: The book is very entertaining and great fun. The illustrations are fantastic and childlike and will appeal to children. It is also good for improving children's vocabulary.
Worth noting: The book includes a board game which will delight children.
