Positively spooky.

I've not really enjoyed the Little Miss Books as much as the Mr. Men - most of them seem to be sort of retreads, especially the ones with the same names as certain Mr. Men. Out of all the Little Miss books I've read this is the best (better than a lot of the Mr. Men ones too) and great fun for reading out loud!

Little Miss Scary spends most of her time in the book scaring most of the other Mr Men and Little Miss characters in Happy Land (which she is extremely good at), this is where all the Mr Men and Little Miss characters live and the book is based. One day Mr Noisy went to see his friend Mr Jelly, when Mr Noisy saw Mr Jelly he was shaking and his teeth were chattering; Mr Jelly explained that Little Miss Scary keeps on shouting ‘BOO’ and scaring him. Mr Noisy had a plan; him and Mr Jelly hid behind a bush and waited till Little Miss Scary came. They followed quietly behind her and then shouted ‘BOO’; Little Miss Scary was so scared she jumped 5ft into the air and then ran all the way back to her house. When Mr Noisy turned around to congratulate his friend, he wasn’t there, Mr Noisy chuckled and went to see if Mr Jelly ran back to hide under his bed.

Little Miss Scary is the thirty first book written from the Little Miss series of books. Each Little Miss book introduces a new character in which its main personality trait is dominant and is used as her name and used to show a moral lesson.
This is a fun and relatable book because everybody has tried to hide and scare someone before, but Little Miss Scary is just a perfectionist at her art.

I love the Mr Men and Little Miss book series because of the moral lessons at the end and the different personalities used in every book and character. This makes it relatable to children because they can compare dominant personality traits to the characters and decide which character they are most alike.
The moral story at the end also allows the children to learn a lesson within the book, and in Little Miss Scary’s case it was to not scare people if they didn’t like or if you wouldn’t like it yourself.
The Mr Men and Little Miss characters are quite detailed and captivating in imagery, even though the drawing of the characters are quite basic it is very effective and children seem to love it and it could allow the children to be able to draw the characters quite easily.

This book and the series can be used within the Classroom very effectively; because of the simplicity of the writing I think children will be able to use these books for independent reading, if stuck they can sound out the words or use the dictionary.
It can also be used to support English, to help children to understand characters and help to develop their own characters within stories they eventually write. When the children learn about moral stories this book and the series can be used as an example to show the children, you can ask the children if they can identify the moral within this story. It can also be used within Humanities because of the moral within the story, it can teach children not to do things to others not if you wouldn’t like it done to them.

Overall I would love to use these series of books within a classroom; they are fun, exciting, simple to understand and an excellent way to explain morals.

Mr Noisy is a good guy in this so I like it despite the scariness. Hi usually gets treated so badly.
