Young children will have lots of fun with the Little Miss Pocket Library, a great collection of first stories about six hilarious Little Miss characters!

The slipcase, which is packaged in shrink-wrap, includes six durable board book stories about Little Miss Princess, Little Miss Inventor, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Giggles and Little Miss Chatterbox. The storybooks are made of sturdy board and their small size is great for young children, who can hold and play with them. They”ll love looking at the brightly coloured pictures, hearing the stories and enjoying turning the pages themselves. The pocket size of the slipcase makes it perfect to carry around with you for instant entertainment on the go. The back of the books can also be put together to reveal a large picture of the Little Misses featured in the stories.

Biographical note:

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves’ son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle was born and Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump soon followed. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations.
