Over and over and over again.... I read these stories to my first daughter and then to my second daughter.

They loved them... they laughed... i love my daughters... i laughed with them....that was more than enough for me.

Hey practical jokes were a bit on the extreme side.

Charmless book.
Story too convoluted for a child to understand and somewhat mean spirited.

Stilted prose makes me think the author used a thesaurus from the 1940's to make it sound authentic.

Not sure what age group this is aimed at but it's not easy to read aloud.

"But how to catch Little Miss Bad, that was the question Little Miss Sunshine was turning around in her head".

The age group that wants these book read out to them won't understand that sentence.

I absolutely loved these Mr Men and Little Miss books. I remember getting them from my granny every week. There was so much from these simple characters, I remember filling my little bookshelf with all these books making sure I had got them all in right order. I wish I still had these books but somehow most of them got lost with many house moves or my mum gave the rest away. If I ever have kids, I will make sure they get the chance to experience these wonderful, colourful books.

Pretty fun stuff, even if I am a little old for it now.

I kind of feel bad for Little Miss Bad, but then again she was really naughty, playing all those tricks on the others. She really did need to learn a lesson. But what are the chances that it sticks?

The story starts with little Miss Bad looking back on her week, at all the bad things that had happened throughout the week. Things such as; Mr Forgetful's car been swan in half , Mr Uppity’s tennis racquet been swapped for spaghetti and the cream in Mr Greedy’s cream bun being swapped for toothpaste. Lots of people were unhappy they wanted to know was who was responsible for all the mischief.
So Little Miss Sunshine thinks up a plan to catch the person responsible. She creates a fake competition to discover the most mischievous, naughty or bad trick played in the last week, whereby the winner would be rewarded with a free holiday. Once little Miss Bad hears of the competition she enters it, and is overjoyed as she believes she has already won.
The competition day approaches and everyone turns up, Little Miss Sunshine explains the rules and states that the first candidate will be Little Miss Bad. Who eagerly approaches the stage and starts telling all her tricks, from the beginning of the week to the day before the competition. Little Miss Bad is so engrossed in telling her story that she fails to realise that the crowd is not cheering her on and that she has being tricked into confessing.
As a child I particularly enjoyed reading these books as I loved the names of the Mr Men and I loved the way in each story someone always got taught a lesson . I used to be fascinated with the pictures and the colours on the pages. In my opinion an appropriate age range would be nursery, because although there are nice bright pictures these books are a little bit wordy so an adult would need to read it to the child. They would be good books to read to a nursery class as the children will be able to identify the various different Mr men and also broaden their vocabulary.

The 'Mr Men' and 'Little Miss' books are so simple yet so effective. I love the way that all the characters are linked and how characters pop up in other stories!

The books are great for encouraging young children to read because they are interesting, have a variety of simple language and are short enough that young children don't get bored! Children love collecting all the characters too.

We meet the first villain in the series. Really?

What a cheeky way to catch someone out. Very clever - and not an ounce of sympathy for Little Miss Bad.

Little Miss Sunshine tricks Little Miss Bad into admitting to all the bad things she did during the past week.

Little Miss Bad has been on quite the spree. Her bad deeds range from pranks to vandalism to serious property damage, and she is extremely proud of herself. Luckily, Little Miss Sunshine thinks up a plan to put a stop the Little Miss Brad’s reign of havoc and make her pay recompense.
