SUMMARY
Myrtle is happy. Her mom loves her. Her
dad loves her. Her baby brother loves her. She has a good life – until
Frances moves next door. Frances does not love Myrtle, and she makes
it her mission to keep Myrtle miserable. She makes mean signs, sings
mean songs, and says mean things. It comes to the point when Myrtle is
afraid to play outside. Then Aunt Tizzy comes to visit, fresh from an
African safari, and she has some very good pointers to share with Myrtle,
learned from keeping lions at bay.
ALL ABOUT MYRTLE
This book was written for my
daughter at a time when she had a “mean Frances ” in her
life. Click for
