Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”. Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory.Sadly I remember little about the stories now, despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood, plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once.Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983, though may have returned to them as late as...

This is a pretty decent addition to the Little Miss series. In it, Little Miss Trouble is....well, she's not so much a troublemaker as she is a devious little bitch. She lies just because. And she has a hate boner for Mr. Small for some reason.
