Naughty Amelia Jane

Beth is very chuffed that she and her classmate Triston were the only two from their class who got to visit the school library and choose their own books. This is outside of the usual weekly visit to the library with the whole class.

The first book she borrowed was Enid Blyton's Naughty Amelia Jane.

My neighbour Rukshanta came over earlier in the week and saw the book.

"OMG! That's the book I received from my teacher as a prize when I topped my school in Grade One!"

She picked up the book and leafed through it fondly, and proceeded to tell me who Amelia Jane was.

I was reminded of Amelia Jane when Beth threw a tantrum this evening.

As Enid Blyton says of AJ at the end of the book - "When she's good, she's very very good, but when she's bad, she's horrid!"

Ditto for Beth...and J.
