Like all the other Mr. Men and Little Misses, Little Miss Bossy lives up (or down) to her name, bossing around the other inhabitants of Mr. Men land. Of course, this undesirable trait has to be cured, which task Wilfred the Wizard undertakes.

I did like the last page; it explained an aspect of the story which had puzzled me, though I should have seen it coming!

Short, sweet and simple. Lots of simple drawings, bright colours and alliteration. These make good books for quick bedtime stories, with short, dramatic sentences. However, the purist in me can’t recommend them for teaching children to read because many of those short, dramatic sentences are punctuated in such a way that they are grammatically incorrect. But I might give it an extra half-star for nostalgia and fun.

Can Little Miss Bossy learn to say please?

Don't you know people you'd call Little Miss Bossy? Wouldn't you love to see them learn some manners? ( )
