Little Milly-MollyWritten by Tony Retallack Illustrated by Christine Davenier

Published by arrangement with Macmillan Publishers S.A. de C.V.

Little Milly-Molly comes home and she says:

I like this … but I don’t like that!

I like playing,and I like my toys,but I don’t like soccerand I don’t like boys!

Little Milly-Molly walks to school and she says:

I like this … but I don’t like that!

I like bananas,and I like toast,but I don’t like snakesand I don’t like ghosts!

Little Milly-Molly plays games and she says:

I like this … but I don’t like that!

I like sunshine,and I like my mom,but I don’t like fishand I don’t like Tom!

Little Milly-Molly wakes up and she says:

I like this … but I don’t like that!

I like candy,and I like ham,but I don’t like bedtimeand I don’t like Sam!
