My father used to read this to me when I was a child....it'll always be 5 stars in my head.

Another ingenious puppet-in-a-book. Nancy has wave-able arms and a fixed expression. She misbehaves at nursery school, is unsociable, wont share and won't 'play nicely'. Consequently all the other characters are upset, and Nancy decides to apologise with a hug for everyone.
