Little Miss Helpful - Roger Hargreaves

Since Mr Tickle our house has become a haven for the Mr Men and Little Miss storybooks (as well as DVD but that is for another review). They are great fun to read and are always a hit at bedtime (for both my son who enjoys them and me because they are short and offer interaction). Little Miss Helpful is number 8 in the little Miss collection. She is a smiley purple Little Miss with yellow hair tied in a bun and a matching nose. She also wears a pair of slightly high-heeled white and green shoes. As her name suggests, she likes to be helpful and will help anyone. The only problem is that she often hinders rather than helps.

Little Miss Helpful is the 8th Little Miss book. Roger Hargreaves created the Mr Men in 1971. Ten years later, he created the Little Misses as well, off the back of the success of the Mr Men. They are lovely books, which I enjoyed when I was a kid. My son prefers the Mr Men books as he can relate to them more being a male, but they're still very good. Little Miss Helpful is bright purple with neat orange hair. In the story, she tries to be the most helpful person she can to all the other Mr Men and Little Miss.
