Naughty Nana

About the Book

When Regina was a little girl, she was funny, cheeky, and happy. She loved to play pranks, go on adventures, and have some fun—and these three stories will tell you about some of that fun! In ‘The Little Chick’, Regina’s curiosity gets the better of her when she finds a roost of chickens at her school. ‘The Mountain Monster’ lives in this fun family trip to their house in the mountains. What’s under her bed? Regina loves a good scare. When she goes on a haunted house ride at a fun park, she gets a little more than she bargained for—and so do the ghouls—in ‘The Ghost House’. Written as a gift for the author’s daughter, Naughty Nana will delight kids of all ages, especially those between the ages of four and eight.
