My son enjoyed me reading this book to him because like Mr. Bump my son tends to have many accidents.

“If there was something for Mr Bump to bump into, he’d bump into it all right.”

My love for Mr Bumps grows and grows :)) he’s iconic!

My two brothers and I each had a Mr Men cup when we were young. Ironically, Mr Bump was the only one that didn't break.

I read this with the smallest member of the household, and we were struck that this was basically the story of the smallest member of the household. Poor Mr Bump, we feel you!

I would have given an extra star if Mr Bump had found employment that didn't involve purposefully getting bumped and potentially injured. Like, he would have been a perfect work health and safety checker! Missed opportunity lol.

a good book

Mr Bump is a two dimensional character who didn’t seem to learn his lesson. After reading this short story, I am struggling to understand the hype surrounding the protagonist. Where was the character arc? Is he a metaphor for that toxic aspect in everyone’s life that repeatedly hurts them, time and time again, until the pain is physically etched onto their flesh? Is it a cry of help from the author; everyone can see he is hurting but no one stops the abuse? Because that didn’t shine through at all, sorry. Mr Bump just bumps from one calamity to another, and I am not excited for the sequel “Mr Bump and the Knight,” though I do think some armour could help this poor guy out. Who was this story aimed at: four year olds or something? Obviously not, because it would not teach a good lesson to children. It is certainly not the deeply moving young adult novel it claimed to be.

Cute stories

a very good funny book

oh mr. bump what trouble will you get into next

full of bumps

All the Mr Men books are funny. (just read it again because I liked it so much)

Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!

These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.

Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.
