Nurse Matilda

"Full of such naughtiness- it may be better to keep these away from your children." --Emma Thompson

One day all the nurses and nannies and governesses gave notice together. "Mr. and Mrs. Brown, your children are so naughty that we cannot stand it one minute longer and are going away. What you need is Nurse Matilda."

...and so the laughter began. Marcus and Lella LOVED those naughty disobedient children (which I am not sure is a good thing!). Thankfully, they liked Nurse Matilda just as much :-)! One thing I really enjoyed about this book was the many British words that we got to pronounce and talk about. Do you know what blancmanges are? Enjoy!
