Si même une go qui a le vertige peut devenir madame acrobate, globalement faut croire en ses rêves les gars 👋🏼

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.

What is the purpose of this book? To urge children to not climb on roofs? To keep kids from begging for expensive tumbling lessons? It was kind of lost on me.

I mean, if you can somersault that well, why not?

[Lucie Pop · Rating 4 out of 5]

omg she’s scared of heights who would’ve thought!!!!!!?????

[Logan Donnelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

The pseudonym sorcerer strikes again! Hargreaves poetically captures the true need for physical energy and excitement in our drab and increasingly modernised society. 5/5.

[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.

This makes me nostalgic for my childhood. Lots of Little Miss books read! I like that it's a female character being daring and brave.

Love these books!!

My two year old son loves all of these Mr. And Little Miss books...I would definitely recommend to anyone with children!

[Alex · Rating 1 out of 5]

I did not like this book because I do not like doing a somersault. I also did not like this book because Little Miss Somersault did a lot of somersaults.

Finally, finally, you've given us an athlete, Roger Hargreaves: what a delight it has been to read about Little Miss Somersault.

Quite a series of adventures she has, this character. True to form, Mr. Hargreaves waits until the last two pages to give us readers an unexpected and hilarious ending.

FIVE STARS and thanks to this superb author and artist.

Bouncing and bounding into action little miss somersault gives us a great read as she tumbles all over the pages, and in another noteworthy event, Goodreads actually got the book number correctly matched up with the box set in this rare occasion, now that is worthy of a tumble!

This book was about little miss somersault she doesn’t go through the door she climbs up the ladder and down and then goes to her room. And in the book I found out that little miss somersault is afraid of heights

[Mona · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bought this a few years ago and finally decided to read it as I was 4 books behind my goal, childhood nostalgia, great read as usual, still trying to continue the whole Little Miss collection. It was an enjoyable short read.

I’ve never tried cartwheeling but I think I might go out for a jog soon!

[Slow Man · Rating 3 out of 5]

This character is not as interesting as the others. And the plot is somehow weak.

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like that this particular Little Miss tale tackles a common fear, allowing children to realise fears are a normal thing to be faced with and not something to be ashamed of.

Little Miss Somersault’s rooftop acrobatic feats eventually get the better of her.

My little sister's copy of this was on the table, so I picked it up and obviously read it.
And now add it to my reading challenge, naturally.

We liked Little Miss Somersault and her daring antics. Sophia empathised with her longing to jump around!
