Customer Reviews

Cute book!

This is a cute book about naughty children. Fun way to teach the alphabet and to teach your children how NOT to behave! Luckily, most of the children in this book have consequences for their naughty choices!

Fun Writing, Best for Grade Schoolers

My 5 old boy hated this book at the beginning, because all of the kids were so naughty. I guess that speaks to how effective the book is in conveying its purpose. We have continued to read the book, and he now adores it. He loves to point out how the fantastic drawings correspond to the writing. The alliteration and writing is fun for grown-ups as well.

My Daughter Wants Me To Buy This

My 6 year old daughter and I went to the local public library today. While she was choosing books for me to read to her I was attracted to the cover of "M is for Mischief: An A to Z of Naughty Children". We both enjoyed the humor, social mistakes and rich language the author used. There are many new vocabulary words in this book for a child to learn. The illustrations were equally as fun and offbeat. My daughter has asked that I buy this for her and I'm certainly willing because it was entertaining to both mother and daughter.

M is for Marvelous!!!

What a fantastic book to read aloud - we all just love it! The poems are incredibly creative, clever, and constructive, and the illustrations are full of action and fun. Sure to become a favorite in lots of homes, like so many other books by Linda Ashman in ours!
