Books
Nanny Matilda is a magically gifted nanny (similar to Mary Poppins ) who knocked on the door of the British family Brown one evening. The many children of Mr. and Mrs. Brown are very naughty and like to play pranks so much that countless nannies have already quit. When Nanny Matilda arrives, she turns out to be an incredibly ugly person who teaches the kids behavior by stomping on her magical walking stick that makes the kids feel stupid just when they say "please". At the end of each book the children have become good and nice, and Nanny Matilda leaves them again because the children no longer need them.
