«Nelly May Has Her Say» is the children's picture book by Cynthia DeFelice, published by Farrar Straus & Giroux in hardback (32 pages, in English).
Nelly May Nimble lives with her twelve siblings in a little house where there isn't enough food. She decides to work as a maid for the eccentric Lord Pinkwinkle, who demands she call objects by invented names. She puts up with his quirks until a spark endangers her friend the dog: then Nelly May puts her foot down and proves she has a voice of her own.
A retelling of a folk tale in which a master demands silly names for objects. With illustrations by Henry Cole; published on 19 March 2013; recommended for readers aged 5 to 6.
Ideal for early readers and for read-aloud sessions, especially if they enjoy wordplay and absurd humour.
