There's a slight novelty feel about these mashups, though I quite like the message that's portrayed in this Tenth Doctor edition.
Tennat's Doctor fits perfectly with the 'Mr. Rush' like design and whist the Sontaran's did appear in his era of the show, it's not something that I'd associate with this incarceration.
The anti-war message is quite nicely handled.

"I am not your enemy.' cried the Doctor in exasperation."
The tenth Doctor during this adventure didn't have a travelling companion but he does gain a Sontaran as one along the way. It was a fun quick read. You can easily identify the Doctor he was characterised well in the story. The main part I enjoyed was the scenery. It would of been nice to have an old 10th Doctor companion involved maybe Martha? As Donna makes an appearance in 10th Doctor Christmas special and Rose makes an appearance with the 9th Doctor.

Torna il decimo Dottore, il solo ad aver partecipato a due volumi della serie.
Avventura in solitaria, contro i soliti Sontaran.
Niente di particolare... poteva bastare lo special natalizio per omaggiare il decimo Dottore.

Hooray! This more than makes up for the dreadful Christmas special edition book. I loved this story of the tenth doctor and the Sontarans. I’m glad this was the one I chose to read last to finish off the series. So. Much. Fun.

fun as always but I'm not the target audience

Ehhhh I just found this one a bit boring.

A particularly odd instalment!

It's a little strange that poor Dr. Tenth is on his own with no companions. Still, the essence of David Tennant's doctor is captured and General Staal is a great character.

So, *of course*, it would be the Tenth Doctor to be the first to get a second book!
As mentioned in a prior review, this Mr Doctor/Doctor Man/Doctor Who Mr Man is one of my favourites. He's based off of Mr Rush (who is another of my favourite Mr Men), albeit in a colour that suits the Tenth Doctor's long coat. The hair is the crowning glory here.
This story covers the ground of a very well-used trope - the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend', and is strikingly reminiscent of the Dennis Quaid movie, Enemy Mine, and I'm sure you can probably list of a number of other movies and books where this set up occurs.
As it happens, it makes for a straight-forward tale where you know how it's going to end, but you enjoy the ride all the same.
So, yeah, I enjoyed this book quite a bit.
All told, this series of Mr Men Doctor Who mash-ups has been very enjoyable. Bloody expensive (regular Mr Men books about about 2.99, right? These were £4.99 each!!), but enjoyable all the same.
My little niggle, as I'm sure readers of this series would be able to forsee, is the absence of the War Doctor. However, as much as I think he really *should* be represented, I can appreciated how it may have been decided to omit him (besides what would they call him? Can't really have a 'Dr War, can we? I still would).
They could, I think, manage to feature him, at least, in a future book - A story that riffs off of Mr Nobody (which pretty much is a repeat of Mr Happy itself - Mr Happy is even in it again!), where a different Doctor meets a sad and gloomy 'other' Doctor (as his action figure was sold as, as it happens, fact fans) and endeavours to cheer him up (which, in itself is the plot of the 50th anniversary episode).
There you go, BBC, you can have that one for free!
I do so hope they make more of these books. I'm not aware of any planned, but they have successfully managed to released three batches, covered all the Doctors (who have had singular starring roles and full seasons for themselves *AHEM* ), as well as a Christmas special, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more come out.
Besides, we have a new Doctor now and I would be shocked if they didn't make one with her in it!
Now, what would they call that one? Dr Thirteenth? Little Miss Doctor (is that a bit of positive sexism though? I don't know)? Little Miss Dr Thirteenth would be the best bet technically, but is quite the mouthful.
Anyway... !
I've enjoyed this run of books, as have my kids, and we all hope there will be more.

Dr. Tenth 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 Tenth Doctor taking a respite from his duties when suddenly the planet is attacked by Sontarans. 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 Tenth Doctor's demeanor fairly well. The illustrations are a perfect combination between the Doctor Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes. The Tenth Doctor depicted really looks like David Tennant from the Mr Men and Little Miss universe.
The premise of the book is rather straightforward. The Tenth Doctor is taking a break from his duties when suddenly the Sontarans attack. The Doctor tries to speak reason with the Sontarans, but they consider him an enemy, while The Doctor is trying to find out the reason for their occupation. Apparently, the Sontarans want to take over the planet, because they love the sausages. Exasperated, the Doctor suggested the logical route – instead of world domination.
All in all, Dr. Tenth is a wonderful children's book about the Tenth Doctor and the perfect amalgamation of Dr. Who and the Mr Men and Little Miss universes.

I've hit a bit of a slump in catching up on NuWho episodes (currently halfway through Peter Capaldi's time as the Twelfth Doctor) and I thought finishing this mash-up series might help inspire me to get going again. This isn't the greatest story in the series, but I'm amazed how Adam Hargreaves can capture the essence of each doctor in just a shape, hairstyle or raise of an eyebrow. Very cute.

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
ドクターが遠く離れた星でのんびり休暇を楽しんでいるとソンターランがやってきて侵略を開始する。ドクターは侵略をやめるようソンターランに訴えるがもちろんソンターランが聞く耳を持つはずもない。
感想
必死にソンターランを説得しようとするドクターがとんでもなく可愛い。なかなか起伏にとんだ展開で終盤は思わず笑顔になる和みっぷりなのだが、このあとどうなったのかかなり気になる。せっかくがんばったのにー！って感じ。

The Tenth Doctor and a Sontaran must work together to survive.
A fun children's mashup between Mister Men and Doctor Who.

I was forced to give it three stars since the most impressive thing for me was the scenery in the panels set at sunset. Lovely! Otherwise, the Sontaran as companion was a wee bit dull.

I've always loved the Hargreaves Mr. Men and Little Miss books, and and I love Doctor Who, but I start getting the feeling I'm too old for these now (as I should!)

One of the weaker of the series so far but you always have to give the Christmas episodes a bit of extra leeway

My favourite doctor in a fun adventure.

Way better than the Christmas special, glad the tenth Doctor got another go.

“Dr. Tenth” by Adam Hargreaves
“'I am NOT your enemy,' cried the Doctor in exasperation.”
Sontarans can be a bit slow in trusting!

No companions in this one, sadly. But the story is enjoyable.

Short adventure that captures the spirit of Doctor ten, and is filled with humor and deeper meaning that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

These little mini Doctor Who books are perfect for a good bedtime story and a few good laughs.

Best piece of Doctor Who fiction to be written, frankly. Spot on mannerisms for Ten.
