The story starts with little Miss Bad looking back on her week, at all the bad things that had happened throughout the week. Things such as; Mr Forgetful's car been swan in half , Mr Uppity’s tennis racquet been swapped for spaghetti and the cream in Mr Greedy’s cream bun being swapped for toothpaste. Lots of people were unhappy they wanted to know was who was responsible for all the mischief. So Little Miss Sunshine thinks up a plan to catch the person responsible. She creates a fake competition to discover the most mischievous, naughty or bad trick played in the last week, whereby the winner would be rewarded with a free holiday. Once little Miss Bad hears of the competition she enters it, and is overjoyed as she believes she has already won. The competition day approaches and everyone turns up, Little Miss Sunshine explains the rules and states that the first candidate will be Little Miss Bad. Who eagerly approaches the stage and starts telling all her tricks, from the beginning of the week to the day before the competition. Little Miss Bad is so engrossed in telling her story that she fails to realise that the crowd is not cheering her on and that she has being tricked into confessing.As a child I particularly enjoyed reading these books as I loved the names of the Mr Men and I loved the way in each story someone always got taught a lesson . I used to be fascinated with the pictures and the colours on the pages. In my opinion an appropriate age range would be nursery, because although there are nice bright pictures these books are a little bit wordy so an adult would need to read it to the child. They would be good books to read to a nursery class as the children will be able to identify the various different Mr men and also broaden their vocabulary.
