About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is going through a phase of testing limits, playing 'mean' jokes, or struggling to understand how their actions affect others. It is an ideal tool for starting a lighthearted conversation about social boundaries and the natural consequences of being unkind. Little Miss Naughty spends her day playing mischievous tricks on her neighbors, from stealing hats to breaking fences, until she meets Mr. Impossible, whose magical abilities allow him to give her a taste of her own medicine. While the book is humorous and fast paced, it centers on the themes of accountability and justice. It is a classic choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who enjoy slapstick humor but need a gentle reminder that being naughty isn't as fun when the tables are turned. The simple prose and iconic illustrations make it an accessible way to discuss why we follow rules and respect our friends.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. The 'naughtiness' is slapstick and stylized, such as pinking shears being used on a flower bed or breakfast being stolen.
