Purchase options and add-ons

Once upon a time there was a huge family of children; and they were terribly, terribly naughty .

So begins
Nurse Matilda, the first of three books about the no-nonsense nanny who uses magic to rein in the mischievous children in her charge - and changes their lives forever.

This covetable, highly collectable new hardback edition of a timeless classic is packed with episode after episode of mischief, mayhem and hilarity, all accompanied by Edward Ardizzone's beautiful original illustrations.

The inspiration for the much-loved film
Nanny McPhee, starring Emma Thompson and Colin Firth, Nurse Matilda overflows with naughtiness, wit and timeless humour - the perfect gift for mischief-makers both young and old!

After seeing Nancy McPhee and learning it was based on a series of books, my niece got the book (from me) as a birthday gift.
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2008
The main character, Nurse Matilda, gives the bad children lessons she thinks they need to learn to be good. The book is mostly for children ages 8-14 for the most part. Coupled with the DVD, Nanny McPhee, it is very entertaining. I would recommend it to any parent intent on giving their children a good understanding of right and wrong.

I read this entire book to my son when he was a small child as a bunch of small bedtime stories. Its Perfect for that. He still talks about the funny stories about the bad little children.

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2006
After seeing the movie "Nanny McPhee," my six-year-old daughter and I couldn't wait to read the book it was based on. We weren't disappointed. The Brown children in the book really are terribly, TERRIBLY naughty, maybe even worse than the children in the movie. There are more of them, too - a seemingly endless number; thus more opportunities for naughtiness.

I love this book because it makes it clear that even while she's teaching the children to behave, Nurse Matilda loves them not just in spite of their naughtiness, but because of it. The ineffectual parents are pretty funny, too. And the illustrations by Edward Ardizzone couldn't be more charming.

Be prepared for questions about Britishisms - e.g., the children eat swedes and roly-poly pudding with treacle, and the Baby wears a nappy. It all adds to the atmosphere.

You are steeped in the world of Nurse Matilda immediately and it is gratifying to see how faithful Emma Thompson was to the original!

We enjoyed all 3 stories and comparing them with Nanny McPhee DVDs.
