Impulse grab from the library (hardcover Viking Kestrel which I should add but am too sick to). I can tell that the first book would have been delightful. This was fun, but seemed a little clumsy, as if the author just wasn't sure where to go with the overall story arc. Very short, could be read
In fact, would be good for read-alouds because there are some ideas that families could discuss, such as how not to let another naughty child get you in trouble. Esp. for ages 5-8.
The illustrations are utterly beguiling. I love the ones done in silhouette, esp. with Mildred's long braids. And a certain page with the pair of troublemakers (and friend) in 'before' and 'after' poses is hilarious, because it's actually only Mildred who reacts.
I will investigate for others by the author.
