A book that gave a smile during our family book time.

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.

This is my first foray into the Little Miss books, and...I was underwhelmed.

Little Miss Fun throws a party and has a lot of fun despite the mishaps.

Little Miss Fun.... I knew her once... I'm sure I did... but I was Mr Fun in those days.... now my wife says I'm Mr. Middle-Aged-Grumpy-Old-B***ard....

Anyway... I think that your never too old to have fun.... I still love these books even though it's years now since my youngest put them in a box and sent them up the loft.

Over and over and over again.... I read these stories to my first daughter and then to my second daughter.

They loved them... they laughed... i love my daughters... i laughed with them....that was more than enough for me.

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.

Little Miss Fun is a character that always wants to have fun. If someone tries to make her sad, she doesn't care and lets it slide. When the partiers went outside, they danced all around the garden. While the partiers were dancing, they plowed all the flowers in the garden. When the partiers were playing Simon says, Mr. Tall's foot crashed into a window and the window shattered. Will Little Miss Fun get mad and shut the party down? Or will she keep the party going?

Got this today at The Book Warehouse for $4! Plus it was big too. Totally worth as it's a cute little story for anyone who loves fun and colour. Your never too old for Mr Men Little Misses books! ;)

I enjoyed this book because I like to be fun. I also enjoyed this book because Little Miss Fun was very fun.

[Rose Rosetree · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an expressive artist, that Roger Hargreaves! Soon as I laid eyes on his main character for this story, right there for all the world to see on the front cover, how did I react?

* She's kind of cute.
* I guess.
* Hold on, more like she's cloying. And annoying.

I did, by the way, cherish the reference in this book to a machine for playing vinyl records, what we used to refer to as "the record player." (Well yes, this book was published in 1972.)

Even better was that so-clever ending. Though no spoiler from me, no no!

I'll just add FIVE STARS and thanks to the great Roger Hargreaves.

I've got my very own 'Little Miss Fun', someone who's very much always looking for enjoyment, going to parties and takes ages to go to sleep!

We get through plenty of books at bedtime and have worked through many of the Mr. Men stories that I had kept from my own childhood.
So it's nice to see a few of them characters turn up in this story.

An enjoyable simple instalment in the every popular franchise.

[Sean Harding · Rating 4 out of 5]

In one sense every little miss book could be titled little miss fun, because they are indeed a fun ride in the literary universe. So have some fun then write something like I like this book because I like having fun - I also like this book because little miss fun had lots of fun, right Alex?

This was a fun story to read. Lots of fun lessons to glean from the story like not letting setbacks affect you and still looking at it with an angle of fun. Also, a cautionary tale of a people pleaser - but it's light and fun to read.

[Slow Man · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fun little book to read. Well, anything short is nice to read. Missy just wanna have fun! And she’s fun to be with until everyone else is exhausted but like an Eveready rabbit, she goes on and on, entertaining herself.

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect ending for a bedtime story for the kids. Short, sweet and with cute little pictures.

Basically the same storyline as Mr Perfect. Party time!

[Indy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like the morale of the story - in order to be fun, the mindset of "never mind" when things go south or not your expected way is crucial.

[Danny · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was about little miss fun and in this book she kept saying never mind never Mind never mind until the very end where she met a bird and her friends were asleep

“Never mind,” laughed Little Miss Fun. ***

Miss Fun is a pretty good sport, even when her guests trample her flowers and break her window.

[Jade · Rating 5 out of 5]

The title character's positive attitude and the fourth wall breaking at the end makes this an instant classic for me.

[Lois · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great book sad that no one laughed when she was a clown but at least the bird was there

[Dane Cobain · Rating 4 out of 5]
