Mr. Quiet - Roger Hargreaves

As a young child the Mr Men and Little Miss series of books were always a firm favourite of mine. They were so popular in my house that I had the teddies, the bedding, the curtains, posters, and mugs. I could go on but I'll stop. Come to think of I still have most of that stuff. Anyway as usual I digress. The point is however that once you start reading these books your love for them begins to grow and in my opinion it is this that has made the series so popular. Mr Quiet is number 29 in the Mr Men series, which contains 46 books written by Roger Hargreaves and later his son Adam. Mr Quiet is a small round character that is olive in colour and rather meek ...  Read the complete review

No one can hear him., and he is always being ignored. Down in the dumps, he meets Mr Happy, who manages to find a job that is perfect for him - but what is ...  Read the complete review

When I was younger, I always used to take Mr Men and Little Miss books into school for the teacher to read to the class at the end of the day. I'd passed them on to my silbings however, and recently stumbled across them when I was holidaying. I decided to give some a read, and opened up book number 29, 'Mr Quiet'. Mr Quiet is a small little mustard yellow circle of a character. In his story, Mr Quiet is so quiet nobody can understand or hear what he is saying. When he goes to visit Mr Happy, he is offered a job which is perfect for him - working in a library! This book, written by Roger Hargreaves, is quite an entertaining story that children will ...  Read the complete review
