Funny «adaptation» of Doctor Who with the Mr and Miss collection. I enjoy it. It's simple but always fun. I've read four of them and mostly enjoy them all.

The attention to detail really makes these books special, from Ace's backpack to calling the Seventh Doctor 'Professor'.

One small grip is that The Master is underused, but this book includes so much that this can be easily forgiven.

The Doctor and Ace save people from the Cheetah people. It was pretty sweet. And who doesn’t like a cameo from the Master??

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hooray for The Master!! Boo for Ace. I did not like Ace at all and would have liked a little more of The Master in this story. I do love these illustrations.

[Scott Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is some great characterisation in this entry in the series: both the Doctor and Ace are perfectly captured. The premise of the story - the Doctor wanting to visit some friends - is rather lame but it picks up after they are found to be missing.

[Derelict Space Sheep · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though drawing a pretty faithful Seventh Doctor (and Ace), Hargreaves manages the almost inconceivable feat of making his Cheetah People less threatening than those of the original serial. In mitigation, the Master’s cameo is era-appropriate in its preening reveal and blustering fizzle.

"The Doctor and Ace were on a walk through the woods."

The Doctor and Ace save some people from the cheetah people and there was also a brief appearance from the Master. I thiught the Doctor was written well but I felt Ace was a bit irraiting as on every page she was either describing on how something was either boring or exciting.

Adam Hargreaves illustra il settimo Dottore ed Ace, con la speciale partecipazione del Maestro, in questa nuova avventura speciale.
Tutti in parte e con tutti i riferimenti corretti ed adeguati al periodo televisivo corrispondente.

I really hope a spin off book with Mr Master comes out!

Dr. Seventh is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves and is a part of the Doctor Who Meets Mr Men and Little Miss series, which tells a story about the Seventh Doctor meeting some friends of his for tea with his companion Ace. However, when the reach their destination, the Doctor's friends were missing. Today is National Dr Who/T.A.R.D.I.S. Day (23 November) and I thought it would be apropos to read this today.

The text is rather simple and straightforward. Hargreaves aptly captured the essence of the Seventh Doctor’s whimsical and thoughtfulness fairly well. The illustrations are a perfect combination between the Doctor Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes. The Seventh Doctor depicted really looks like Sylvester McCoy from the Mr Men and Little Miss universe.

The premise of the book is rather straightforward. The Seventh Doctor and Ace are meeting some of The Doctor's friend for tea. However, when they reached their destination, no one was there. After some investigation, The Doctor found the culprit behind the abduction – The Cheetah Men. Along the way, The Doctor and Ace also meets up with The Master, but he was quickly taken care of. I'm not familiar with the companion of Ace – I never knew that she was so explosive happy.

All in all, Dr. Seventh is a wonderful children's book about the Seventh Doctor and the perfect amalgamation of Dr. Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes.

In this picture book sendup of the Seventh actor playing Dr Who, Dr. Seventh has a companion named Ace. (On the long-running TV show, The Doctor always has a companion: She's female, cute, and way quirky.)

As the plot unfolds with the entrance of the Cheetah People, what does Companion Ace say?

Blimey, from interesting to exciting in a matter of moments! I think I can hold them off!" shouted Ace, rummaging in her bag.

Ace's lines in this book are particularly delightful, at least to this Goodreader.

Thanks, Adam Hargreaves, for carrying on the family tradition of FIVE STAR-delightful picture books.

After reading two or three of these in the series, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, just pick your favorite Doctor and enjoy. Does really well with the story being like the series, and relationship between Doctor and companions being spot on. If you are a Doctor Who fan of the original series you should read this at least once and if you have young kids, you have to have this, or any of the Hargraeves Doctor Who kid's books.

Along with Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy was the other Doctor I grew up with, and being a child of the 80s/90s, I especially adored punk Ace. This story depicts her as very trigger-happy: the Doctor wants to magic their way out of trouble while she just wants to lob a stick a dynamite at every obstacle.

[Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

You just never know where the author is going to go with these mashups! The most unexpected delight I found with Dr. Seventh was the companion with the most pep yet. Yay! for taking Ace and her dynamite-loving ways to the least boring extremes.

[Tim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is another great story and for me I was very excited to see the Cheetah People feature in this story as it links it to the very last Classic episode of Dr Who 'Survival'. This is a must for Dr Who fans.

[Danna · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a hoot! The hubs and I are finally reading this series I bought for him at Xmas. Both of us being Whovians, and me being a librarian and fond of the quirky “Little Mr./Miss/Ms.” series, we are amused.

あらすじ
ある時、ドクターはエースを連れて古い友人の元へお茶をしにでかける。しかし、エーズはそんなのは退屈だと不満顔。ところが友人宅に約束の時間通りに到着したにも関わらず友人宅はもぬけの空だった。不審に思うドクターは家の周囲に獣の足跡をみつけ、追跡を開始する。

感想
7thドクターについてはほとんど知識がないのでドクターのコンパニオンのエースが常にダイナマイトを投げたがるような過激な子だとは驚いた。意味なくマスターも登場してみたり。

Being a my favorite Doctor, this was a very sweet story for the Seventh Doctor.

[Tim Drury · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun tale featuring the Cheetah people and briefly the master.

[Kieran McAndrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Seventh Doctor and Ace save some prisoners from the Cheetah People.

A fun children's mashup between Mister Men and Doctor Who.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I so miss Ace! The relationship between her and the Doc was so wonderful. This is such a cool homage.

[Lois]

Cute but WHY WOULD THEY DO ACE SO DIRTY?

DR. SEVENTH
Two British icons mash-up!
“The Doctor and Ace were on a walk through the woods.” .. Cheetah people and .. The Master!

Pure sentimental and it did reflect Seven as a personality

[Helen Marsden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these.
