My Nephew found this at the library and it looked goo and it was good. Little Miss Scary is terrifying everyone at Halloween and it bums out Mr. Tickle. He decides to help the town out. He follows her around (not creepy, right) all night long and anytime LMScary is about to do a prank, Mr Tickle tickles her. She laughs and spoils the prank all night long. LMScary has a horrible Halloween evening, but the rest of the town has a great evening.

It’s a very cute book and this one is written by the son Adam, not Roger the originator. It is different in style, but it’s a great little story for the season. A great money maker for certain. The nephew really enjoys this story and he has read it with each of his readers. He gave it 4 stars.

This book is a good one to read to kids who are learning about Halloween and perhaps know someone who really likes to scare other kids. The size of the book, however, makes it hard to read to more than one child because it is so small. Additionally, the text is small, which might make it hard for a child to read to him/herself. Overall, though, it is a fun book for the Halloween season.

Love this new Mr Men book which talks all about Halloween. This is a delightful tale allowing children to see various scary aspects of Halloween but in a fun and safe way and get a giggle and a tickle out of each. Great Halloween story.

i loved this series as a child, and this book was a good read for a children's book. Though it is weird to some to read halloween books in May, but i don't care- i just found the book! lol

The glow-in-the-dark cover is cool too. :)

Mr Tickle needs to chill or he’s going to get slapped…with a harassment lawsuit.

My friend's eldest read this to me and we both enjoyed how Mr Tickle was a hero to teach Little Miss Scary a lesson.

A good introduction to Halloween and plenty of laughs from both of us.

My aunt had a massive collection of the Mr Men and Little Miss books, so when I saw this at the store the other day, I had to stop and read it. Mr. Tickle and his story is a classic, and I always thought that he was such a charming character. I don't have any memory of reading Little Miss Scary's story, and maybe I did, but she's one that I don't remember as much. Even though I don't remember her as well, I still think that she was really spunky and likable, and I thought that her and Mr. Tickle had a funny dynamic. I do think Mr. Tickle wronged her, because Little Miss Scary had all the right to go around and freak people out on Halloween. It's her night and she's the main character so I don't know what Mr. Tickle was thinking ruining her night like that smh.

I thought that this book was cute, but there wasn't much more to it than that. I enjoyed reading about some of these characters that I'm familiar with, but the story in of itself wasn't that interesting or entertaining. It was fine, and I can totally see why someone who loves to collect these books or Halloween books might really like this, and I can see younger children also really enjoying it, but I don't think many people outside of that demographic would really like it. You obviously can't compare this book to most books, but I still don't think it stood out to me in a way that made me want to rate it any higher than three stars.
