I have four children ranging in age from 11 to 5 and all of them love the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories, even my two very active boys. The stories are delightfully old-fashioned tales of the everyday adventures of the heroine, Milly-Molly-Mandy. They are the perfect tone and length for a good bedtime read. I love them for their idyllic depiction of rural life in an English village.

This book was the first I was able to read myself, at age 4. It had been my mother's book as a child, and I still have her copy. I was amazed to see that it is still being printed and is still so popular. Somehow I thought it was unknown to most people (my little secret!)

My own granddaughter is now old enough to read about Milly-Molly-Mandy, so I will purchase the new edition for her. She looks just like Milly-Molly-Mandy! Also, it is fascinating to learn that the stories take place in Holland, not England. My sisters and I still use the phrase "little-friend-Susan" to describe the perfect friendship!

I was amazed when i came across this title in my search. I got both the Milly Molly Mandy books as a gift when I was little. I had to wait to read them as i couldnt read very well when i received them. The became my favourite books and I still have them packed away somewhere to this day, dog-earred and with torn covers. I never tired of reading the same stories over and over again, wishing that I could have adventures like Milly Molly Mandy.

This was a delightful story to read to our children. All four of them (ages 2-6) thoroughly enjoyed it and when asked what to read this was the title they requested. It was an enjoyable read for mom as well. The simplistic presentation of life, the joys of childhood and the sweet innocence of Milly-Molly-Mandy were so refreshing. Finding pleasure in simple things from playing dress up to sledding in the snow are values I want to instill in our children. The illustrations are pleasing too and for the child too young to read it is a good book just to look at.

This book has been enjoyable for my daughter (3 1/2 years old) and me! Every night I read a chapter to my daughter at bedtime. The text is pleasant to read and the stories are about day to day happenings of a little girl. This version has big, colorful pictures and a ribbon bookmark to mark where you stopped reading. It is a great introduction to chapter books for the preschooler. It has also initiated wonderful conversations between me and my daughter about friends she meets, places she would like to go and worries about growing up.

I am an adult. When I was growing up, I read all of Milly Molly Mandy Books. I searched and searched but could not find them in the U.S. Thanks to Amazon.com I am now re-reading them and having them as collecters, when my grandchildren visit, I read it to them., and they love it. They are the type of books kids should be reading today as part of their childhood. The books are very pleasant, and it teaches about togetherness and sharing, not taking things for granted. It talks about gratitude. Thanks for looking for "my Milly Molly Mandy" books.

Milly-Molly-Mandy lives in a lovely little cottage in the country with a yellow thatched roof what you can probably see it for miles. She lives with her Auntie,Uncle,Mother and Father Grandmother and Grandfather. My Grandad was eight years of age when these lovely stories came out in the shops. Milly-Molly-Mandy likes exploring and she always thinks of clever (but never horrible) ideas. I love the pictures and funny little curly cheeks.

I got this book when I was 6 and it has been a loved part of my collection ever since. I loved the map of the village in the front and the little descriptions that matched a location to a story, and the little qualifiers the author will put in front of some people's names like Little Friend Susan. The stories hark back to a simpler time, with things like berry picking or a new dress achieving the level of excitement that perhaps only the young (or young at heart) are capable of feeling. A wonderful book for children.

Milly Molly Mandy is tops in our house right now. For bedtime, my 3-year-old son would rather have two chapters of this book than any other. I'm amazed that he can listen to a book with only a few pictures per chapter, but the stories are wonderfully engaging, with a sweet tone and an innocence I love. You'll love this book!

My name is Laura. I am 9 years old. I read this book that was printed a long time ago. I really like the book because Milicent Margaret Amanda did very interesting things. One of the things she did was sending messages throughout the town by running around town and passing on messages. Her grandmother taught her to sew and she made a surprise pot warmer for the tea kettle. Even though this book was written 75 years ago it is still one my favorite books. I recommend this book to children who can read or their parents can read it to them.
