So we're teaching kids that when we're not queen bee anymore we should take down our rival instead of finding peace with ourselves? Not okay. Although the book could just be viewed as a funny story, I'm aware of how much kids pick up and I will not be reading this to my children again.

The sparkly books all seem to follow some fairy tale or other. In this Miss Splendid is the wicked stepmother of Snow White in a way.

I like the humor.

Not our favourite but splendid is a hard word for a 3 year old to understand. A nice tale with comparisons to the tale of Snow White. Some nice twists and love the last line although not sure a Queen is more splendid than a princess.

A tale which reminds us that jealous actions always have consequences.

Little Miss Splendid becomes jealous when a princess moves in next door.

Much like the evil queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Little Miss Splendid has a magic mirror. Every morning she asks it, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most splendid of all?" to which it usually replies, "Little Miss Splendid is the most splendid of all." But when a princess moves into the castle next door, the mirror tells Little Miss Splendid, "The Princess next door is the most splendid of all."

Little Miss Splendid becomes extremely jealous and sabotages the princess by having three of the most blundering Mr. Men and Little Miss characters -- Mr. Bump, Little Miss Scatterbrain, and Mr. Muddle -- apply to be her servants. Thanks to their incompetence, Little Miss Splendid once again becomes the most splendid of all.

J’ai lu ce livre en français pour ma practice de la langue, et c’était amusant! :)

Quand j’étais jeune la collection de “Monsieur Madame Paillettes” était ma série favorite. Ce livre est facile pour les nouveaux apprenants de français, donc je le recommend.

I found my niece indulging this book, and I didn't find anything good about it.

Little Miss Splendid does some very nasty things just so she can be though of as better than a princess. Not very Splendid behaviour.

[Megan Cheang · Rating 2 out of 5]

I officially rate it 1.5. Because the bad guy won.
