Mr Jelly was a very nervous person but one day he plucked up courage and went on holiday. Mr Lazy persuaded him to get in a dinghy and enjoy the sea. When Mr Lazy fell asleep he let go of the rope that was holding Mr Jelly close to the shore and Mr Jelly drifted out to sea. Landing on a desert island he was taken by pirates to their ship! When he’s too nervous to do anything they eventually take him back to shore.

An allegory for the paranoia of our times? A simple tale for kids?
Maybe a mixture of both.
Mr Jelly plucks up the courage to travel to the seaside, in the face of his fear of everything. Is there a phobia for everything? Something to Google later.
In the real world is this exploring our fear of travel post 9/11?
Mr Lazy offering to help safeguard Mr Jelly seems nonsensical, but in this parallel story does Mr Lazy represent the Security Services? Seemingly lazing around rather than preventing further atrocities...
Mr Jelly's paranoia eventually rubs off on everyone, causing chaos.
A message for our times: don't overreact?
My kids liked it, although they couldn't fathom how such ineffectual pirates existed!

Mr Jelly returns in a book written by the son of RH and it is just not the same really.
It lacks something, and pirates, what century is this in?
Pirates on boats going arrrgh? And dumb pirates at that.
And the ending was fairly ordinary as well.
I don't mind new Mr Men books so much, but I reckon write new men folk, - it is only limited by your imagination, and there is clearly some there with AH.

Yeah, it’s OK, but nothing special. A nice succinct and decent story.

I bought this at a bookstore on a day trip to NYC, because my boys love the Mr. Men books so much. They like them a lot more than I do, but I get a kick out of seeing them excited about them.
