A lovely little book - By: Gra & Co, 25 Jun 2008
What can I say that hasn't already been said? All the Mr Men & Little Misses books are just so much fun! My 3 years old constantly ask to have them read for her & knows several of them by heart. They are funny, interesting, just the right length for bed time reading. PERFECT!
Read to Your Child to Improve Bonding and Intellect! - By: Donald Mitchell, 21 May 2004
Researchers constantly find that reading to children is valuable in a variety of ways, not least of which are instilling a love of reading & improved reading skills. With better parent-child bonding from reading, your child will also be more emotionallly secure & able to relate better to others. Intellectual performance will expand as well. Spending time together watching television fails as a substitute.
To help other parents apply this advice, as a parent of four I consulted an expert, our youngest child, & asked her to share with me her favorite books that were read to her as a young child. Mr. Messy was one of her picks.

Mr. Messy reallly is aptly named. He lived in a messy looking house with peeling paint, broken windows, a garden gate fallling off its hinges, uncut grass, random items alll over the house along with an unmade bed, & a broom that he tripped on in the garden. In fact, he was so messy, he bothered my daughter. As a result, she did something that she usuallly did not do . . . she got her crayons out & began making things look better.

Then Mr. Messy went for a walk & found the neatest cottage he had ever seen. Outside were Mr. Clean & Mr. Neat who were tidying things up. They asked Mr. Messy if they could help him. Mr. Messy agreed, & they quickly cleaned up the outside. Then they cleaned up the inside. Then, they realized that Mr. Messy needed work, too, & they cleaned him up also. After that, Mr. Messy said that 'I'm going to have to change my name!' All three became best of friends.

For years, whenever our daughter's room would start to get messy, we would ask her if she wanted a visit from Mr. Neat & Mr. Clean. She would laugh & start picking things up.

This is a good book for helping your child learn good tidiness habits, because the consequences of the alternative become obvious in a particularly humorous way.

Adorable - By: , 29 Dec 2003
An excellent story about that cute fuzzy pink character. There's a brilliant picture of him with a sad face. Has the usual Mr Man charm.
