Bridging the generation gap
Rating:
5 / 5
This book was the first I was able to read myself, at age 4. It had been my mother's book as a child, and I still have her copy. I was amazed to see that it is still being printed and is still so popular. Somehow I thought it was unknown to most people (my little secret!) My own granddaughter is now old enough to read about Milly-Molly-Mandy, so I will purchase the new edition for her. She looks just like Milly-Molly-Mandy! Also, it is fascinating to learn that the stories take place in Holland, not England. My sisters and I still use the phrase "little-friend-Susan" to describe the perfect friendship!

I was amazed when i came across this title in my search. I got both the Milly Molly Mandy books as a gift when I was little. I had to wait to read them as i couldnt read very well when i received them. The became my favourite books and I still have them packed away somewhere to this day, dog-earred and with torn covers. I never tired of reading the same stories over and over again, wishing that I could have adventures like Milly Molly Mandy.
All kids should read this one!

What a sweet book! I'm 23 and always pre-read any books that i intend to give as gifts to the various kids i know. Usually i find that they eventually turn into scary stuff which isn't too good for the younger ones. When i read this story book i went out and got six copies, one for each of the young children i baby-sit, age ranging 3 to 9, even the 9 year old loved it. There is no violence, no bad language and is a wonderful way of showing young children how people lived in days gone by without taking on a lecturing tone. You know what, even the two young boys liked it!:-)
