quippeThe Blurb On The Back:
Discover more about you with the Mr Men and Little Miss
A new series to encourage children to understand more about their own emotions and how to manage them with the help of the Mr Men and Little Miss.
Mr Funny is confident because he feels loved and respected for who he is. However Mr Quiet finds that when he tries to speak up he seems to go unheard. In fact, when Little Miss Naughty comes into the library where Mr Quiet works, she never seems to notice that he’s trying to get her to be quiet. Can Mr Funny help Mr Quiet find his inner confidence to speak up for himself?
Roger Hargreaves and Elizabeth Kilbey’s picture book (part of the DISCOVER MORE ABOUT YOU SERIES) is a thoughtful guide for young readers about how to be confident in who you are. I enjoyed the way Mr Funny is so supportive of Mr Quiet and also how the book celebrates all of the strange things Mr Funny does but how it makes him unique. These are really useful books for young readers and well worth a look.
Mr Funny and Mr Quiet aren’t two characters who I’d automatically put together but they work very well in this story. Mr Funny is an unusual character who does silly things but you really get a sense of what makes him unique and how his confidence comes from knowing who he is and that other people like him for that.
The big theme in this book is learning who you are and how to appreciate yourself for that. I enjoyed the way that Mr Funny helps Mr Quiet to learn how he enjoys telling stories and how that gives him the confidence to deal with Little Miss Naughty (who is oh so very naughty). At the same time, I also enjoyed how the book makes clear that there’s nothing wrong with being quiet or shy - it’s all about working out who you are. At the same time this has the quirky humour that makes the MR MEN LITTLE MISS BOOKS such classics.
All in all, if you want to help a younger reader to develop their self confidence to be who they are, then this is well worth a look.
The Verdict:
