Little miss bossy by Roger Hargreaves.

~~~Cover~~~

LITTLE MISS BOSSY by Roger Hargreaves is written in black letters at the top of the page with a picture of Little Miss Bossy underneath all on a white background.

~~~Main Character~~~

Little Miss Bossy is bright blue, she has a round body with little hands and feet and a big black round mouth. She wears a red hat with a yellow band and a white flower.

~~~The story~~~

The story starts on Monday, Little Miss Bossy is going for a walk and she meets Mr Nosey who she is very rude to, on Tuesday she meets Mr Noisy who she tells to shut up, on Wednesday she meets Mr Happy and tells him to stop smiling, all this rudeness didn't make her very popular. The wizard had seen Little Miss Bossy been rude and bossing these people around and started to think, when he got home he took a large book from his bookshelf and turned to the page that said 'HOW TO STOP PEOLE BEING BOSSY'. On Thursday Little Miss Bossy met Mr Lazy who was fast asleep and she shouted at him to wake up and prodded him in the belly. While this wqas happening the wizard is stood behind Little Miss Bossy and says something under his breath. Suddenly a pair of boots appeared on Little Miss Bossy's feet, the magic boots started marching Little Miss Bossy along, faster and faster and Little Miss Bossy couldn't stop them. The boots marched Little Miss Bossy for 5 miles and she was exhausted. When the boots finally stopped Little Miss Bossy tried to take them off but she couldn't, then along came the wizard. Little Miss Bossy started shouting at he wizard and telling him to take the boots off so the boots started marching again - this time for ten miles. When the boots stopped again the wizard came along and told Little Miss Bossy if she said the magic word he would make the boots go away, so she thought then said please. Again the wizard said something under his breath and the boots disappeared. The wizard told Little Miss Bossy she had to stop been so bossy or she knew what would happen and she nodded, after that Little Miss Bossy was a changed person.

~~~What I think~~~

I really like this book as I think it is a good story and has nice bright pictures to follow the story with. It teaches children that they should be nice and use their manners because if they are nasty, rude or bossy then there will be consequences and even if they think they have got away with doing something wrong then they have probably been seen and their actions will catch up with them.

I would definately recommend this book as it is a good story and can teach your children a lot.
