A thoughtful and engaging Mr Men Little Miss story about recognising and dealing with jealousy

Everyone feels jealous sometimes. Little Miss Princess may live in a castle, but she can feel envious of her friends when they are free to have fun while she has royal jobs to do. While Mr Fib sometimes tells tall tales to hide how jealous he is of what other people have. We all want what we can’t have sometimes, but how we deal with that feeling is what’s important.

Join the Mr Men and Little Miss as they help little ones unpack big feelings in the brand new, collectable series: Discover You

The Mr Men and Little Miss are the perfect characters to help children understand a bit more about their own emotions and how to manage them. With engaging questions to encourage conversations and some helpful tips from favourite characters to help children develop their emotional intelligence.

Review quote:

“Sensitive and engaging, full of bright, gorgeous illustrations, these books are a wonderful tool to read with your child at any time, in particular if they are struggling with these emotions or behaviours.” – Mini Travellers

“Perfect additions to any home, nursery or school” –Lancashire Newspaper Group

“The colourful characters have been delighting children since Mr Tickle first appeared on bookshelves in 1971.” –The Independent

Biographical note:

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves’ son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle was born and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations. Sadly Roger passed away in 1988, but his son Adam took over the series, introducing new characters and many exciting new adventures featuring the much-loved Mr Men and Little Miss.
