This is another series of books where we have read every one!

My daughter loves Amelia Jane and finds it very funny to read about all the naughty things she gets up to! Luckily the other toys always stop her causing too much mischief and try to teach her to be good. She even comes to their rescue sometimes!

My daughter loves to think her toys come to life when she's not there to watch so she loves reading about what happens when these toys are left alone in their playroom! A great classic series to read together and another good early chapter book. There are lots of lovely illustrations throughout these books too which my daughter loves.

Synopsis from Amazon:

Amelia Jane has an uncanny knack for getting herself into mischief and into trouble with the rest of the toys in the playroom – from snipping off pink rabbit's tail to tipping a bucket of sea-water over Tom the toy soldier on a trip to the seaside. But really, Amelia Jane has a brave and adventurous heart of gold - and when the toys need rescuing from naughty goblins or big waves, it's Amelia Jane to the rescue!

I don't remember reading this book earlier. It is a cute and funny book about a naughty doll. I am sure I will make my son read this book as it is too good. But whether the already naughty boy will learn some naughty tricks from Amelia, or learn to be good since Amelia got into trouble every time she was naughty, time will tell. I enjoyed reading this as an adult too.

Just a good old Enid Blyton book with short chapters which are short stories within themselves so can be read 1 at a time or in a whole sitting. While the edition I read was from 80s and maybe wouldn’t be the same now a days for political/stereotyping reasons, I enjoyed this book.

Loved this when I was younger
funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

A greatly nostalgic story that I first read as a young child. Super fun and ideal for kids as not only is their mischief and adventure, but also a lesson to be learnt that keeps it safe for influential kids.

A nostalgic tale that takes me back to my childhood.
