In the U.S. tv show, Mr. Persnickity is also called Mr. Fussy. In the books, Mr. Nervous is also called Mr. Jelly. CC is NOT happy with this! She fussed the whole time we were reading. I just didn't find much fun with this one.

I love this book

i loved it so much

Pirates and all so exciting

okay

Mr Jelly takes a holiday to Seatown and ends up having a reluctant adventure with pirates on the seas. Beautifully illustrated.

Quite a fun read, with an unexpected ending!

This books would be best used individually or in small groups due to the small size. If used as a whole class it would need to be on a visualiser so children could see the pictures. Mr Jelly worries about everything and makes other people worry too. When he is captured by pirates that all become very scared of sailing. You could discuss with children what to do if you have worries like Mr Jelly and encourage them to talk about them like Mr Jelly does. There are lots of opportunities for discussing how and why the characters might be feeling different ways, looking at different points of view. I’d use the book with FS and KS1 children. Year 3 children may enjoy reading it individually.

Homie needs to suck it up and experience life.

An interesting book by the son of the original mr men author. Mr jelly meets the Pirates and by expressing his fears, convinces all the Pirates that they are scared too! Interesting, a bit of a teaching lesson!!

And he fainted...... love Mr Jelly made the pirates nervous too

Another new and enjoyable book for our family read. A nice little book but not as enjoyable as many we have read.
