Review: Little Miss Shy Goes Online Dating - Roger Hargreaves

The Mr Men for Grown-Ups series now gives adults the chance to laugh along as the Mr Men and Little Miss try to cope with the very grown-up world around them. Featuring Roger Hargreaves classic artwork alongside hilariously funny new text.

Little Miss Shy likes being single and loves nothing more than staying in with a good book. But her mother feels quite differently and she reluctantly decides to give online dating a try. Will one of the Mr Men be her Mr Right?

The perfect book for anyone who has ever been part of the dating pool, reluctantly or not.

Review:
If you were a fan of the Mr. Men and Little Miss books as a child then you're sure to love the nostalgic feeling these revamped adult versions will give you. The books are in the same format we know and love and they have used a selection of Roger Hargreaves' original illustrations that fit the new storylines pretty perfectly.

Little Miss Shy is quite happy being single but she's getting sick of her mother nagging her to find Mr Right and start popping out grandkids so she decides it might be time to try online dating. Lots of rather awkward dates ensue until she realises that the perfect man for her might have been standing right in front of her all along.

This was easily my favourite of the Mr. Men for Grown Ups series and it had me laughing out loud the whole way through, probably because Little Miss Shy matches me exactly and I've had lots of frustratingly similar conversations with my own mother about this same topic. This definitely tickled my funny bone and I've already ordered a couple of extra copies to give to friends this Christmas.

If you've ever taken part in any kind of faddy diet you'll see yourself in Mr. Greedy's story, he's determined to lose some weight so that Mrs. Greedy will find him attractive again but it's so hard to find a diet that is both easy to stick to and gives good results.

This was a really funny story that would be a perfect stocking filler for the constant dieter in your life and I really liked the sweet ending.

Little Miss Busy hadn't always been so busy. She used to enjoy lazy weekends and leisurely lie-ins. But then she had kids. Now her life is a constant juggle of demands and pressure to be the perfect mum. How does Little Miss Busy do it?

The perfect book for anyone who has ever faced the trials and tribulations of the wonderful and exasperating world of parenthood.

Little Miss Busy used to have a much more leisurely life before her kids came along, now it's all running after the kids and trying to keep up with the much more organised mothers like Little Miss Perfect and Little Miss Tidy. Her life is one long to-do-list that she never seems to reach the bottom of.

This is the perfect gift for any busy mums you know, I'm sure they'll recognise themselves in the story and end up chuckling at the way things turn out for Little Miss Busy.

Mr Happy is usually a very happy fellow. But the morning after the office party, he doesn't feel so happy. In fact, he loses his smile. It couldn’t be that bad, could it?

The perfect book for anyone who has ever been to a work party and lived to tell the tale.

This book starts with a very hungover Mr. Happy and then goes back in time to show the events of the office Christmas party that made him feel ill in the first place. I have to admit that this was my least favourite of the four grown up books released so far but it was still amusing and there were a lot of nods to little things that workers are sure to recognise from their own office parties. These books are perfect little stocking fillers or secret Santa gifts and I hope we'll see more books published in the range.
