Purchase options and add-ons

Mr. and Mrs. Brown were forever having trouble with their numerous and incredibly naughty children . . . until the day Nurse Matilda entered their lives.
First published nearly fifty years ago, Nurse Matilda and its two companion books-Nurse Matilda Goes to Town and Nurse Matilda Goes to Hospital-have charmed readers ever since. Now the inspiration for the major motion picture Nanny McPhee, all three beloved books are available once again in a paperback omnibus edition which features the three complete and unabridged books by Christianna Brand, along with Edward Ardizzone's charming black-and-white illustrations. This movie tie-in edition also features an eight-page color photo insert.

Good story, high quality used paperback

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

I like the stories and it's fun, is nice to read the origin of the movie "Nanny McPhee" which I thoroughly enjoy. This is a used book which was very well cared for, I'll buy used books again! I got this book for myself as I'd not heard of it before and I enjoy children's books for the fun of reading them. I intend to pass on to children I know.

The book came even earlier than projected. I’m sure my Grandchildren will love it

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2011

My great-granddaughter and I watched the Nanny McPhee movies while I was visiting her one day. I saw the name of the author whose stories they were based on, so ordered the book for her. Nurse Matilda is the Nanny of last resort for desperate parents of badly behaved children! She makes them behave, and eventually makes them love her. A funny book that also teaches good behavior, by showing how naughty behavior can backfire.
Clever illustrations, too!

The tales are so similar they seem almost repetitive. The movie was a lot better.

I didn't personally read this collection of stories, my 10 year old did...in record time too. He loved that the stories were funny, which held his attention throughout the entire book. Inspiration for the Nanny McPhee movies, I would say that the magical whimsy of these original stories would be enjoyed by everyone.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2009

After watching Emma Thompson's lovely Nanny McPhee, I was anticipating the movie to be a derivative of the book. It's not. While the concept is the same, Nurse Matilda is the heroine, and the story and outcome are very different from the movie. It's a pleasant read, more for younger children who will learn from the story and enjoy the humor.

I love these movies

I have watched both of the "Nanny McPhee" movies on TV several times and decided to buy them so that my great-niece could watch them with me. They are WONDERFUL films for the entire family. Rent or buy them both, you will not be disappointed.
