Book Review - 'Little Miss Star (Mr. Men and Little Miss)' by Roger Hargreaves
The most meta 'Little Miss' book to date, at a time before that meant anything.
'Little Miss Star' wants to be famous. But how will she do it? Read to find out.
Adorable. Simply adorable.
What precious books. The 'Little Miss' titles I like best are the ones that go against the grain, and go down unexpected routes in their stories, and where the focus point female character is not a lazily-conceived distaff counterpart to any of the 'Mr. Men'. Children love and crave originality and surprises as much as adults.
All in all, a nice, fun little distraction by the Little Misses.
Final Score: 4/5

Book Review - 'Little Miss Busy (Mr .Men and Little Miss)' by Roger Hargreaves
Everybody knows someone who is always busy, and can't imagine being anything else. You are probably that person yourself, or you used to be at some point. It's good to keep doing things - good things - and do them well. It's good to have purpose, to know what's what.
But remember to take a holiday once in a while! And resting from sickness is not the end of the world. Let others help you out. It's okay.
'Little Miss Busy' is a relatable Little Miss. Exaggerated, of course, but relatable. She is always on! She must do things and keep things in order, without a break, even when she is ill. She is happiest when she is organizing and getting on with practical matters!
Hilarious and clever stuff.
Final Score: 4/5

Book Review - 'Little Miss Lucky (Mr. Men and Little Miss)' by Roger Hargreaves
Instantly a favourite, simply because Little Miss Lucky likes to read books! In bed!
Plus she's as cute and lovely as a tea cosy. 'Little Miss Lucky' is comfortable yet quite shocking and scary, which is good for kids. It's another 'Little Miss' entry with an interesting twist - don't dismiss it because of the title; it is very different to what I was expecting. I like to be surprised by a children's picture book.
How nostalgic these Roger Hargreaves classics are.

Book Review - 'Little Miss Twins (Mr. Men and Little Miss)' by Roger Hargreaves
Twins!
One of the most fun 'Little Miss' books, breaking away from the usual formula. Why yes, you are seeing double!
Everywhere in Twoland is twice the fun fun! Every last thing said is said two times - the charm charm! The ending is a genuinely funny and brilliant punchline.
Colourful and original.

Book Review - 'Little Miss Shy (Mr. Men and Little Miss)' by Roger Hargreaves
Little Miss Shy is so shy, so scared of people and leaving her house, it's adorable. A sweet little children's story with a nice message on confidence.
Communication and friendship are key. And parties are fun! People are shy at heart, just more or less shy than others, in how they express it.
Final Score: 4/5
