Children used it a lot in the past, and maybe they still do.

Amelia Jane is big, bad and the terror of the toy cupboard! In this book, she snips the tail off the pink rabbit, squirts Tom the soldier with water and gets up to mischief at the beach. The other toys try to teach her to be good. Ages 5+Big? Yes, one can safely say that Amelia Jane is about the biggest toy in the nursery and that gives her an advantage because it's hard to combat naughtiness in a doll who towers over everyone else - unless there's a combining of forces. Maybe it's because I read these stories one after another, but I found them repetitive and rather boring... I think I might have to re-think again in a couple of years whether or not I would want to read these to my kids as a bedtime story...

Johnstone, Anne (29 July 2006), "Enid Blyton's books were until recently sacrificed on the altar of 'political correctness', now they are enjoying a renaissance and her daughter is preparing to celebrate a special anniversary", The Herald, archived from the original on 11 June 2014 , retrieved 24 March 2014– via HighBeam Amelia Jane is a very naughty doll and is constantly getting into trouble with the other toys in the nursery. She is rude and unkind and drives everyone up the wall but eventually always gets her comeuppance. It's a great series of books to read aloud to teach children to be kind in general. It's a great read to read to specific children who need the reminder that the way that they choose to treat others has consequences both for good and for evil. urn:lcp:naughtyameliajan0000blyt:epub:b7e6d524-7be0-4b7f-89af-f7c6196d5fbd Foldoutcount 0 Identifier naughtyameliajan0000blyt Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t7sn8f56z Invoice 1652 Isbn 074974667X Thing is, I keep on wondering what would I have thought as a child, reading or being read these stories to? I think I wouldn't mind acting like Amelia, what with the other toys being so mean, straight-laced and hypocritical! They keep on saying how bad and naughty Amelia is, and do all sorts of these bad-ness themselves to take revenge or to teach her a lesson. Also the stories keep on ending with "yes, Amelia will be good for a while, but no one believes that she will stay good!" It's such a frustrating branding of naughtiness that I, in my current thoughts and idealism, wouldn't want to imprint on my young ones (when I have them, that is!)Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Old_pallet IA17335 Openlibrary_edition
