Oct 26, Aine added it. This is story about a mischievous doll named Amelia Jane. All the store-bought toys in the nursery are always well behaved, but homemade Amelia Jane is always up to tricks. Amelia Jane can never be good for more than one week. She often plays nasty tricks on the other toys and gets them all into trouble. As a result, the toys always try to teach Amelia Jane a lesson by playing some tricks on her, but Amelia Jane never learns.
With every trick she plays, someone always ends up hurt, and sometimes This is story about a mischievous doll named Amelia Jane. With every trick she plays, someone always ends up hurt, and sometimes even she gets upset. After each trick Amelia Jane plays she promises to be good, but never remains true to this promise.
Through the actions of Amelia Jane it is very easy to highlight the dangers of being naughty and playing tricks, which would be helpful when teaching children about right and wrong. Also, no matter how naughty Amelia Jane has been, the other toys in the nursery always help her when she is in trouble or frightened, teaching the lesson 'treat others as you would like to be treated'.
Overall it is a very good book, with lots of lessons hidden in each chapter. View 1 comment. Oct 13, Dhiya Adriana rated it it was amazing.
This book was so fun to read. Her pranks are just wow. And i already read all the books. This book was very SWAG. Amelias pranks was SWAG. Okay thank you for reading my review. Sep 24, Alice Biggerstaff rated it it was amazing. I need to note that the copy I purchased no longer has the Golliwog character in it. He's been replaced with a toy soldier named Tom. I hadn't realized how controversial Enid Blyton's books were. I've managed to somehow, accidentally, buy just cleaned up versions of Enid Blyton where names and characters have been changed a bit.
Thus, I always enjoyed Blyton and was none the wiser.. Then I was reading a Famous Five book, came across a character named Sooty and got concerned and then found the re I need to note that the copy I purchased no longer has the Golliwog character in it. Then I was reading a Famous Five book, came across a character named Sooty and got concerned and then found the rest of the story via Google. The stories get very repetitive, it's always Amelia doing the same ridiculous nonsense.
Amelia Jane is very, very naughty. It is interesting that, much like Toy Story, the toys come to life when no one is around and then drop limp when someone shows up.
There is also a cowboy doll in one of the stories.. Amelia Jane is much like Horrid Henry- she is consistently bad only behaving for very brief periods of time. While reading this, it put me in mind of a book that does this better. If you like this, but, want something a little less mean and controversial- I highly recommend the "My Naughty Little Sister" books by Dorothy Edwards.
I'm not sure if Dorothy was a better person or not, but, a brief google search turned up nothing shocking. The character is a little girl instead of a doll and she does get into trouble, but the story is so much more charming.
Anyhow, I generally try not to learn too much about famous authors because honestly a huge percentage of them weren't great people. I want to be able to enjoy the book distinct from the author because otherwise there will be very little older books left to read. If you are buying reprint Enid Blyton books for a child, I suggest a quick scan through the book at least to make sure your getting the version you expect.
I was looking forward to buying some vintage versions of her works because I buy a LOT of vintage juvenile fiction. Definitely won't be buying these as the Golliwog character looks like the worst kind of blackface.
I don't believe in censoring as a general rule, however, entry level chapter books like Amelia Jane are sort of expected to be relatively 'clean'.

Because Amelia was naughty but she does truly have a good spirit. I read this with my 8 year old daughter.
We are huge fans of the Faraway Tree and when we saw this Enid Blyton book at a friend's house, we knew we needed to read it. A similar storyline to Toy Story yet their is a mischievous handmade doll who knowingly wreaks havoc in the toy room.
Honestly Amelia Jane's antics are slightly outdated but my daughter enjoyed them anyway. The language is simple e This is one Maggie's favorites. The language is simple enough that she helped me read. The above review was written by my daughter. Mar 07, Ramyaa Gobi rated it really liked it. I remember reading this book as a child and enjoying it. This is one book which thought me not to judge a book by its cover because when my mom first gave it to me, I said "mom, this looks so boring" and I was obviously wrong.
I have always been a big fan of Enid Blyton and have always enjoyed her most of her books like 'Thirteen O'Clock' and '12 silver cups' but the Amelia Jane series is very different.
