Little Miss Trouble gets a taste of her own medicine. This is a book about bullying in a non-direct way. Miss Trouble gets people thinking Mr. Small is saying mean things and they beat him up for it without asking if Miss Trouble is telling the truth. People can Suck. Karma is harsh and Little Miss has to take her own medicine and she doesn’t like it.
In some ways I think the bigger story is that people can be easy to manipulate. Mr. Small does the same thing back and uses people to do his work, which being the victim is more easily accepted than the rest of the shenanigans in here. At least Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump are not hitting Little Miss Trouble.
The nephew complained that he doesn’t like Little Miss (sad), but since there are so many Mr. Men characters in the book, he ended up enjoying the story. He gave this 3 stars

Uma década depois de criar a colecção “Senhores”, Roger Hargreaves lá percebeu que havia todo o novo mundo com as congéneres femininas e criou a colecção “Senhoras”. Difícil é escolher entre tantas e tão boas, mas a Senhora Sarilhos merece uma menção honrosa. Perita em meter veneno e pôr os senhores uns contra os outros, acaba por ser descoberta e ter a paga que merece.
A Sra. Sarilhos ficou metida num sarilho.
- Como te atreves a chamar-me “Cara de Pudim”? – gritou-lhe o Sr. Cócegas.
E desatou a fazer-lhe cócegas.
- E como te atreves a chamar-me “Sr. Palerma”? – bradou-lhe o Sr. Desastrado.
E deu-lhe um encontrão.
Ora, não sei se alguma vez já vos fizeram cócegas e deram encontrões ao mesmo tempo, mas não é lá muito divertido.

Many of the Mr. Men and Little Miss books are fun, charming and bring plenty of nostalgia.
Unfortunately some are really outdated and offensive and I now feel uncomfortable reading them to my daughter.
From the outset the story doesn't really make much sense...
'Here comes trouble' people say is the opening line in the book.
So why does Mr. Uppity (who is fat shamed!) and Mr. Clever believe her lies of what Mr. Small supposedly had said??
Inexcusably the pair then take it upon themselves to beat up poor Mr. Small!
Many of the books in this series sees the titular character receive a dose of their own medicine, thankfully atleast it was just Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump doing what they do best.

This is a pretty decent addition to the Little Miss series. In it, Little Miss Trouble is....well, she's not so much a troublemaker as she is a devious little bitch. She lies just because. And she has a hate boner for Mr. Small for some reason. She keeps telling other people that Mr. Small said some shit about them, and instead of acting like an adult they just punch him in the goddamn eye while Little Miss Trouble presumably jizzes somewhere in the bushes. After this happens a few times Mr. Small decides to take the doctor's advice (and really, it's pretty shitty advice for a doctor to be giving) and goes around telling people that Little Miss Trouble said some bad things about them. This is morally okay though, for some reason. Anyway, when the other people(?) find out about this, they tickle her instead of punching her in the eye because this book is sexist.
In the end, everyone learns a valuable lesson that lying to get other people in trouble is hilarious, as long as they don't find out it was you. So as long as you're name is not like, oh say Little Miss Trouble or Mr. Lying Dickhead or something, it should be easy to be play innocent should anyone ask.

WOW un peu choquée par les valeurs véhiculées par cette histoire

Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!
These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.
Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.

I did not like this book because I do not like being in trouble. I also did not like this book because Little Miss Trouble made lots of trouble.

My children and grandchildren loved the books by Roger Hargreaves. Wonderful stories for children.

Roger Hargreaves is on top form with this addition to the Mr Men and Little Miss collection. Little Miss Trouble lies to Mr Uppity and told him another of the Mr Men had called him a name behind his back. Mr Uppity confronts Mr Small (who indeed hadn’t said anything at all) and gave him a black eye. Little Miss Trouble did this again to Mr Clever. Mr Clever was so upset about this apparent name calling that he hit Mr Small in the other eye! Little Miss Trouble laughed at Mr Smalls’s bruised face and admitted it had been all her fault but seemingly didn’t care. Mr Small had to go to the Doctor and explained what had happened to him. The Doctor felt so sorry for Mr Small he whispered some advice in his ear! Mr Small followed his secret advice and told the other Mr Men that Little Miss Trouble had said something bad about them! They were very cross and confronted Little Miss Trouble; who denied it so they tickled and bumped her at the same time! The Doctor stopped by to check on Mr Small who reported that their plan had worked. He then dropped in to see Little Miss Trouble who was now thoroughly down in the dumps and she told the doctor all about her bad day. The book ends with the doctor telling little miss trouble that she had in fact got a taste of her own medicine!
Even though these books are seemingly simple there are definite moral lessons present. They help to form a child’s moral compass and engross them in reading at the same time. This book in particular shows that you must treat others as you would want to be treated; a lesson often told by teachers and mothers alike. I enjoy the fact that these books put lessons like that into context in a fun and relatable way.
The characters in the Mr Men books, and especially this one, are true to their name sakes. This helps children to attribute behaviour to a name. It can be used to open a line of discussion about how the characters name is Little Miss Trouble and question what kind of trouble she made and how it affected others. It helps their literacy skills with stereotyping and creation of characters.
The Mr Men books are great in the way that they introduce children to the series style of writing. Trilogies and series books are very popular in children’s writing; Jacqueline Wilson and J.k Rowling are renowned for their ability to capture children’s imagination for books on end! This gives KS1 children an opportunity to tap into a style of writing that they will find in the future.
This book can be read to KS1 children (4-7 years old) and even younger; it is also enjoyable for adults because of the humorous story line and the way that this book is written, it gives way for expression when reading it to children. There are ebbs and flows in the layout of the writing which gives it a rhythmic quality.
It is good for mid KS1 children to read because it contains a lot of dialogue and this helps to understand and introduce speech marks (which I found to be a big issue when working with KS2). The use of onomatopoeia builds real excitement which for KS1 children is important to hold their attention as they can tend to wander! This would be great for a PSHE session or story time in KS1 as you can talk about it in more depth but also it is accessible for them!

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.

This book gets a higher rating because I found it in a pile of donated books and read it to my teammates. They were quite enthralled. I think the story itself deserves a 1 or 2 because apparently, two wrongs do make a right.

I used to tease my youngest that she was Little Miss Trouble and she used to tell me that she was Little Miss Lovely Trouble... oh... they were great days.

'Here comes trouble,' people would say when Little Miss Trouble appeared on the scene.
And in this story she really lives up to her name. She goes to see Mr Uppity and tells him a nasty name that Mr Small calls him behind his back. Mr Uppity reacts, seeks out Mr Small and gives him a black eye!
In the meantime Little Miss Trouble goes to see Mr Clever and tells him what Mr Small calls him behind his back. So he goes to see Mr Small and blacks his other eye! Little Miss Trouble then goes to see Mr Small and laughs at his two black eyes and he realises that they have been caused by her telling tales.
So he goes to see Doctor Makeyouwell who, on finding out that the black eyes have been caused by Little Miss Trouble spreading rumours, whispers something in Mr Small's ear for him to extract some revenge on her.
Mr Small does this by recruiting Mr Tickle and Mr Bump to help him and their ploy works to perfection so that Little Miss Trouble has, as Doctor Makeyouwell tells her, 'had a taste of her own medicine'!
Again a fun tale from the Roger Hargreaves series.

I should have reviewed “Little Miss Bad” and “Little Miss Trouble” together because they seem like the same thing title wise to me, but I didn’t so I guess move on right? This character likes, you guessed it, TROUBLE! She lies to people telling them that others said things they never said! What trouble she is. Again someone, not the same one from above, decides she needs a lesson. She gets one all right! This is an average read, but one I think that really teaches a lesson to a child about lying. It is a valuable lesson for a child to take in. Given that it reminded me so much of the other book (Little Miss Bad), I couldn’t rate it that highly. The other was simply better, in my opinion. This still teaches that important lesson though, so I would say read this book to your child before some of the others that I have mentioned. This is a lesson that a child can take well into their adulthood and even then some adults need to remember simply not to lie.

Reveals a dark underbelly of violent behaviours in two of the Mr Men, who I shall not be naming here. The fact that it was Mr Small that they attacked just makes it even worse. The advice from the doctor was also irresponsible, knowing what that behaviour had caused last time. This really is a dark chapter in the Hargreaverse.

hmmm i get why some parents might not like their children reading this book because of all the name-calling and mr small being her scapegoat, but i think the (morally correct) message of not being naughty unless you want a dose of your own medicine still stands out at the end.

This book, it took less than one full sentence to start me LOLing. The portrait of Little Miss Trouble was just so everyman-and-everywomanish.
As I progressed with thIS story I thought of the immortal words of Hamlet in his Act 2, Scene 2 (not that I remembered the context; that part I had to google) but my recollection concerned what this character said about himself:
"O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!”
Not that I think that was fair about Hamlet, but it's all too true, to some degree, of characters like Little Miss Trouble.
Oh, I do so like making troule" she giggled to herself.
Of course, by the end of this delectable story, she winds up getting what's coming to her.
As for this author and illustrator, what's coming to him? FIVE STARS.

HmmMmm.
Seeing a bully being subjected to the same treatment isn't my favourite way to teach a lesson; I'd rather the bully learn empathy and recognise the consequences of their actions.
...That said, this is a Mr. Men/Little Miss book so I'm fairly certain the author came up with the end joke first, then worked a story around it.

This is another little miss character that you see on t-shirts a lot, and it is another great little read. I really do love the pictures in Mr Men and Little Miss books, and I love the worm who keeps bobbing up in nearly every book, maybe every book?
Anyway a great read here.
