The Lovable Little Misses (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

My kids love Little Miss and Mr. Men books. We have this same set in the Mr. Men series, and my boys love it. We have been enjoying them for a few years, and they still request these books at bedtime (my boys are currently 5 & 6). We had to buy the Little Miss set, as we now have a daughter (although my boys will enjoy them too, of course). As far as the set - it is nicely packaged and sturdy. It can be difficult to get the books back into their slots, so our Mr. Men set has ripped a bit over time - but considering how long we have had it, I think it has held up nicely. Makes a great gift and is a great value!

As mentioned in some other reviews, this set is a hard cardboard folder with 8 paperback Little Miss books inside. Inside the folder are 8 lighter-weight cardboard sleeves in which the books are stored. It's very cute, and I liked it enough that 2 days after we received our own, I ordered a second one as a gift for a little friend turning 4. It really is perfect to give as a gift or starter set. (And at a much better price than buying 8 of the books individually!) Also, of course, we love the books themselves - fun characters, stories, and lessons for young children.All that being said, one thing to know: While my 3-year-old can take the books out of the folder, she cannot easily put them back in. (Neither can I, for that matter.) I ended up taking the books out and putting the folder away for now, so the little sleeves wouldn't get torn up from her trying to cram the books in. But that's completely ok for us - I'll get the folder back out in a few years, and I'm sure it'll be a great keepsake for her later.

I remember reading these books as a kid, so imagine my excitement when I saw this box set when I was looking for Little Miss books for my daughter (who I have dubbed "Little Miss Chatterbox").We had so much fun reading these books together, giggling the entire time. The simple illustrations coupled with the clean, large font text are actually more appealing for my little one (age 5) than more hefty, elaborately illustrated books. The books in this box set are smaller than the ones that you buy individually, and they each come in their own little slot with a pink envelope (in case you would like to gift a book to someone), a nice touch.I can't wait to purchase additional sets!

I can still remember sitting in my room listening to a cassette tape (dating myself) while reading Little Miss Sunshine. These books are charming and timeless. I was thrilled to find this boxed set when looking for some Mr. Men and Little Miss books for my daughter. It can get a bit pricy when buying each book individually (local toystore sells them for $3.95 each) and this was a great price for 8 books. If you want to share the nostalgia of Little Miss, buying this set is the way to do it. The books are paperback and come in a fold out package. My daughter loves reading the books and their small size makes them perfect for throwing in a purse, diaper bag, or backpack.

Books and folder look great and giving the books only to my kids worked great in their gift. Would work well for an Easter basket too.If you grew up knowing these characters (especially Little Miss Sunshine) but never actually read the books, you may be surprised by how old fashioned the stories feel. Very different from what is out now for children’s books. And they’re long! My younger kids were not interested after a few pages.

My 2.5 year old daughter absolutely loves the Mr. Men and Little Miss books. I grew up with them and couldn't wait to share them with my daughter. She begs to have one (or three!) read to her every night and has gotten to where she makes up her own stories based on the pictures. They are witty and fun for parents to read... I don't dread reading them like some other books. Highly recommend these for kids of any age.

My daughter's face when we read these together is priceless. If you don't remember these from your childhood they are slightly different than your average kids book. Miss helpful is not really helpful, Miss curious is so curious that you wouldn't think to ask the questions that she wants answered. I read these books and my daughter can't keep her eyes away she's so interested in what's on the next line but her face is a for road brow in almost confusio I read these books and my daughter can't keep her eyes away she's so interested in what's on the next line but her face is a furrowed brow in almost complete confusion, but really it's amazement of how this is in the Syrupy sweet simple story lines of most kids books. These books are great change of pace for what we usually read a bedtime I'm happy to have bought them and look forward to getting more to our collection

Loved it! Was kind of skeptical of how the quality would come out when I bought it because of how old the series is, but it came in GREAT quality and it made a PERFECT Christmas gift!
