Little Miss Naughty Reviews


  • Calista

    Little Miss Naughty is a menace to society. She breaks property and hurts people. She needs to be locked up.

    Mr. Impossible is the best character. I love him. He teaches Miss Naughty a lesson. It is much needed. I hope it will last.

    My nephew was happy to read this with me. He recognizes just about all the characters now.

  • Ken

    I've started collecting the Little Miss books hoping that my daughter will have the same love for these characters as I had for the Mr Men, but so far I've been a little disappointed.

    This was exactly the same story as
    Little Miss Bossy but for a few tweaks.

    Our main protagonist is terrorizing various Mr. Men with her antics, that is until they group together to teach her a lesson by using a form of aversion theory.

    I really hope that we come across some strong memorable female characters in this series soon!

    This book really should be titled Little Miss Psychopath. "Naughty" is the right word for someone who, say, sticks their finger in the frosting at a birthday party when nobody's looking or who puts a whoopie cushion on grandma's chair. "Naughty" is not the right word for someone who has no regard for other people or their property. Little Miss Naughty is seriously disturbed. Tearing off an injured person's bandages, breaking a sight-impaired person's glasses? Who does that? And then she tries to put red paint on My Nosey's nose (an assault he has already been subjected to in the book bearing his name) and tries to smash Mr. Happy's window with a rock. Interestingly, much like in Mr. Nosey, the agreed upon way to teach LMN a lesson is to injure her nose. This supposedly "cures" her by the end of the book, but I suspect it's only a temporary reprieve because psychopaths can't really be cured. What she really needs is house arrest.

  • Shirley Revill

    I absolutely love this series of books for children. Great fun and brilliant stories which children really enjoy.

  • Siobhan

    Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!

    These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.

    Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.

  • April Thompson Freeman

    I absolutely adore the Little Miss and Mister books; however, Little Miss Naughty was by far, always my least favorite character. I'm glad she was "cured" at the closing of the book. Maybe she continues to be Little Miss Good now.

  • Alannah Clarke

    I absolutely loved these Mr Men and Little Miss books. I remember getting them from my granny every week. There was so much from these simple characters, I remember filling my little bookshelf with all these books making sure I had got them all in right order. I wish I still had these books but somehow most of them got lost with many house moves or my mum gave the rest away. If I ever have kids, I will make sure they get the chance to experience these wonderful, colourful books.

  • Annabel

    The 'Mr Men' and 'Little Miss' books are so simple yet so effective. I love the way that all the characters are linked and how characters pop up in other stories!

    The books are great for encouraging young children to read because they are interesting, have a variety of simple language and are short enough that young children don't get bored! Children love collecting all the characters too.

  • Hope L. Justice

    This reads more like a fable to me. I don't know that the "Little Miss" books are great books for small children to read. The lessons seem outdated. As an adult, I read this and I laughed so hard. She truly was naughty. And that is an understatement. As works of literature, I find them quite interesting, though certainly not a bedtime story.

  • Chantal ❤️

    I use these book to help children identity personality traits in their peers. They will often Identify a persona with a friend in the class or at home.
    It's a great conversation starter with kids!
    Always helpful for talking about your feelings as well.
    Like when "how does that make you feel when ...... does this? or do you like it when .... does this?"

  • Sarah

    Even with my limited recollection of high school French I am able to comprehend the majority of the text. Small books such as this are perfect for beginning language learners or those who simply need to brush up.

  • Redfox5

    Hmmm Little Miss Naughty is much more naughty than I remember her! Breaking someones glasses, wanting to break a window. Slap an ASBO on that Little Miss! Read this to my niece, she stayed awake for the whole story. I shall keep it to keep reading it to her.

  • JG (Introverted Reader)

    Can Little Miss Naughty learn that naughty isn't nice?

    I loved these books when I was little and they're still pretty cute upon re-reading.

  • Kathy

    This isn't one of my favorite Little Miss books. Miss naughty really needs a spanking and time out!

  • Beth

    The Mr. Men call a meeting to see how to handle Miss Naughty. Mr. Impossible tweaks her nose all week and she stops her naughtiness.

  • Kelly Nelson

    I love these books I read them when I was a kid and I read them to mine.
    they help me teach my children how to read

  • Lumi / Otso

    lumi loves this book, like all the mr. men series. but it's not fun to read.

  • τλιϓλ

    What a wonderful story, being naughty is nice, may be fun to do some tricks but not to cross our lines the way Little Miss Naughty did otherwise surely we will be punished. I liked it.

  • Robyn

    The invisible nose-tweaker? Reminds me of the "Spongebob" episode when he & Patrick used the tickle belt to cure ManRay of his evilness. Lol!

  • Serge Smagarinsky

    Not one of my faves. Reading it through again, it's less Little Miss Naughty and more Little Miss Spawn-of-pure-evil.

  • Thal

    My daughter's favorite character

  • Wilde Sky

    Someone who is naughty gets taught a lesson.

    Good short story - but not as good as others in series as the main character is ‘a bit too nasty’.

  • Michael Fitzgerald

    Little Miss ASBO, more like.

  • Alex

    I did not like this book because I do not like being naughty. I also did not like this book because Little Miss Naughty was very naughty.

  • Barely Competent

    Apart from the fact that what she does is often mean rather than naughty this is a really cute book. Read it to Lena, whom I babysit. I had expected slightly more though.

  • Cass Winters

    Another basically cookie cutter “bad”, “naughty”, “trouble” character. We don’t need this many characters like this that basically do the same tired thing, bother other people. It also still has that same message of don’t be that way towards others, which is a great message. I can’t imagine though a child needing to hear this message THIS MANY TIMES! Then again we still have bullying issues in school, so maybe there does need to be this many books with that same message. I still don’t think it is needed though. Of the three this seems like the least substantial storywise, but this may be due to having read the other two similar ones first (Little Miss Bad & Little Miss Trouble). I think you can skip this one for the most part.

  • jiawen

    i don't recall being much of a fan of little miss naughty when i was younger, and i'm still not a huge fan...

    i think message-wise it's not the most politically correct la but even besides that i don't think the plot was very interesting :-(

  • Dianna

    This is one of my son's favorite Mr./Miss books. Kids love books about people being naughty.

  • Juuli

    Vahvad pildid, tekstil on mõnus rütm, kuid lool endal on silm silma hammas hamba vastu maik juures.
