Written and Illustrated by E.S. Redmond
This is a whimscal rhyming story about an unruly and disobedient little girl who would throw fits and not do what she was asked. Then the 53rd nanny showed up and used her wits (really it was reverse psychology, but we cannot reveal that to anyone under 18) to trick the pampered, spoiled girl to do what all little people need to do to get ready for bed… I read this aloud to 2nd graders and they all thought it was a funny story with wonderful illustrations.
