What are some fun things you like to do together with them? Shirley Hughes, who has died aged 94, was an award-winning author of more than 50 children’s books, and illustrator of some 200 more, with worldwide sales of more than 11m. She had an exceptional talent for drawing children. Through her warm-hearted observation, particularly of pre-school children, she created a distinctive and affectionate visual image of childhood that has been instantly recognisable for more than 60 years. If you were to share a story about your own sibling, what funny adventure would you tell about them? Looks so tasty, doesn't it? I just don't understand what's going on. But I know who'll get the blame for it.She could create a sense of drama out of the smallest thing and resolve it without ever needing to deliver a message. Instead, she relied on children and their parents being largely sensible and so able to solve problems for themselves.

Step Into My Shoes: The big sister tells the stories. Rewrite them from the little sister's point of view, explaining her actions. How does seeing things from a different angle help us understand why people act the way they do? England - KS1/KS2 English: Develop positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what they read. My Naughty Little Sister is the number one expert at getting into trouble, and this is a whole book of stories all about her. She could be at the funfair, in the garden, fishing, or even at the dentist. But wherever she is, she's usually making mischief, making a mess or causing chaos, usually at the same time. While the premise of many of Shirley’s books remained constant, she was innovative in the ways of telling them. A wordless picture book, Up and Up (1979), was followed by Chips and Jessie (1985), the first in a series of titles told in comic strip format as a way of helping emerging readers move from just pictures to words. Before long, that trifle was disappearing fast, because once My Naughty Little Sister and Bad Harry started eating, they found they couldn't stop.My Own Naughty Adventures: Encourage the children to write about a time when they were a little bit naughty but in a playful and harmless way. They can describe the situation, what happened and how they felt during and after.

So they dug away into the spongy inside of the trifle and found lots of nice fruit bits inside. It was a very big trifle, but those greedy children ate and ate. Then, just as they had nearly finished the whole big trifle, the ring-a-rose-ing stopped and Bad Harry's mother called, Alfie starred in many subsequent stories, along with his little sister Annie Rose, including An Evening at Alfie’s, Alfie Gives a Hand and Alfie Wins a Prize. Their simple childhood adventures, set in a British urban world of birthday parties, park visits and local fairs, were fittingly modernised over the years and continued to delight generations of children and their parents, with the most recent book in the series, Alfie on Holiday, published in 2019.Her exceptional contribution to children’s books was widely recognised, with awards for individual titles including the Children’s Rights Workshop Other award, a prize that celebrated diversity in children’s books, for Helpers (1975); and a second Kate Greenaway medal, for Ella’s Big Chance (2003). She received the Eleanor Farjeon award for services to children’s literature in 1984, and was the first winner of the BookTrust lifetime achievement award, in 2015. She was appointed OBE in 1999 and CBE in 2017. Apology Letter: Guide the children in writing an apology letter from the little sister to say sorry for one of the things they did in the story like trying to cut the cat’s tail off or eating the delicious trifle decorated with sweets. They took a spoon each and scraped off the creamy stuff and ate it. And then they began to eat the nice, spongy inside. Bad Harry said, 'Now we've made the trifle look so untidy, no-one else will want any, so we may as well eat it all up.'
