Little Miss Brainy

Little Miss Books #26

by Roger Hargreaves

Little Miss Brainy knows the answer to almost everything. She loves going to Cleverland where everyone is just as clever as she is! The Mr Men and Little Miss have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics. Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged two up. Have you met them all? It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr Men, was born. Mr Tickle was soon joined by Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr Silly.

Miss Brainy is actually smart and able to answer people's questions. We see several of the Mr. Men in the story and she makes her way to Cleverland and there she meets animals like Elephant, Lion, and Pig.

Nephew loved seeing the Pig in the Tree. A pig was stuck in the tree and needed help getting out of it. He loved seeing that and it made him giggle. He also loved to see the red lion. He thought that was cute. He had fun with this and he gave this 4 stars. Its all about the pig in the tree.

Once again copying Chez and reading a kids book. I didn’t think little miss brainy was all that brainy

[Siobhan · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

A new one on me but very enjoyable for our family read.

[Alannah Clarke · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

The best bit, alas, was Mr Messy's cameo.

[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book because I like to be smart. I also enjoyed this book because Little Miss Brainy was super duper smart.

[Meredith · Rating 2 out of 5]

Little Miss Brainy discovers that answering questions can cause unforeseen problems.

[Sean Harding · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another classic from Hargreaves as I now have ten books to go to complete the series. It has been very enjoyable, and this is no exception, a great time to be had for all readers. I wonder if Alex will like or dislike being brainy. These things keep me awake at night.

Gave me a good laugh at the end!

[Cat {Pemberley and Beyond} · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first book in this series I've ever read! Despite not being a member of the target audience, it was a pleasant enough read. Short, slightly silly, and well illustrated.

Sometimes, being less clever will save your life.

Faster than you can scratch your head, trying to figure out the character of Little Miss Brainy...

She tells you, herself, about her particular form of hyper-intelligence: Simply by sharing her wisdom.

Goodreader, you know the saying, "One man's meat is another man's poison."?

Like that... One sentence from Little Miss Brainy just might be enough to make you feel that you are really, really clever.

Perhaps a bit more sarcastic than the other Little Miss books I've read so far, yet devastating!
FIVE SMART STARS to Roger Hargreaves!

[Jade · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm of the opinion that all of the books in these series are quaint. HOWEVER this one is not my favourite. I suppose the intension is to give the rude know-it-all their comeuppance (much like what happened with Mr Clever) but it comes across more like no-good-deed-goes-unpunished here.

Little Miss Brainy is annoying and not brainy in the slightest. It’s a two from me.
