Paul E。 Morph ，

Even as a kid I thought this was a weird one。 It’s like a bizarre retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk where the giant wins。 Still， it has all of the Mr。 Men charm， for all its oddness。 I’m not sure how well its ‘if you don’t stop overeating I’m going to force feed you until you physically can’t eat any more to teach you a lesson’ message would go down with today’s dieticians and parents， though…My next book: Europe - A Prophecy Even as a kid I thought this was a weird one。 It’s like a bizarre retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk where the giant wins。 Still， it has all of the Mr。 Men charm， for all its oddness。 I’m not sure how well its ‘if you don’t stop overeating I’m going to force feed you until you physically can’t eat any more to teach you a lesson’ message would go down with today’s dieticians and parents， though…My next book: Europe - A Prophecy 。。。more

Est-ce que je suis la seule à être complètement indignée par ce livre？？？ Avec des phrases comme "plus il mangeait et plus il était gros"， "il était gros et malheureux"。。。。 Un géant le fait manger jusqu'à ce qu'il se sente mal pour lui faire réaliser qu'être glouton c'est mauvais donc à la fin on voit une image de lui mince et on lit "il est mieux comme cela， non？" PARDON？ Pauvres enfants qui grandissent en se faisant lire ça。。。 Est-ce que je suis la seule à être complètement indignée par ce livre？？？ Avec des phrases comme "plus il mangeait et plus il était gros"， "il était gros et malheureux"。。。。 Un géant le fait manger jusqu'à ce qu'il se sente mal pour lui faire réaliser qu'être glouton c'est mauvais donc à la fin on voit une image de lui mince et on lit "il est mieux comme cela， non？" PARDON？ Pauvres enfants qui grandissent en se faisant lire ça。。。 。。。more

I remember reading this during the 1970s when I was little and thinking it was pretty good fun。 Nowadays， with the modern-day accusations of fat-shaming， I wasn't so sure I would see it the same way。 It's a nice little story which moves along briskly， has a decent amount of text to read， with simple illustrations。 Mr Greedy's changing of his ways after the giant 'fat shames' him could equally be applied to any kind of over-indulgence whether it be shopping， eating lots/extravagantly， idling， boo I remember reading this during the 1970s when I was little and thinking it was pretty good fun。 Nowadays， with the modern-day accusations of fat-shaming， I wasn't so sure I would see it the same way。 It's a nice little story which moves along briskly， has a decent amount of text to read， with simple illustrations。 Mr Greedy's changing of his ways after the giant 'fat shames' him could equally be applied to any kind of over-indulgence whether it be shopping， eating lots/extravagantly， idling， boozing， not so very different from A Christmas Carol， and therefore the moral of this short tale remains a worthy one: 'Everything in moderation'。 3。25/5 。。。more

I gotta finish my year goal of 30 books。 My gf gave me this as a birthday gift and is technically a book。

Generic review time considering the number of books in the series。 The mr。 Men and little miss books are just wonderful。 They are perfect for reading to the little ones and perfect for those kids learning to read。 In many ways I feel they should all be five stars as regardless of what I as an adult might think of a story whilst reading it to my nephews and nieces and friends little ones， they always seemed to enjoy them。 The artwork is fun in the books and helps tell the story visually for young Generic review time considering the number of books in the series。 The mr。 Men and little miss books are just wonderful。 They are perfect for reading to the little ones and perfect for those kids learning to read。 In many ways I feel they should all be five stars as regardless of what I as an adult might think of a story whilst reading it to my nephews and nieces and friends little ones， they always seemed to enjoy them。 The artwork is fun in the books and helps tell the story visually for younger readers。 I read these as a child and have continued to read those I read and many newer ones to successive generations。 A great series that provides entertainment and teaches youngsters about character traits， new experiences and events。 Great stuff。 。。。more

It was about mr greedy keeping his promise and he doesn’t look fat anymore he looks like he is skinny。

Corinne ，

These books teach valuable lessons （think Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory） but they are not good for toddlers with short attention spans like my 3-year-old niece。

Megan ，

a very funny book

Ken ，

In fairness to Mr。 Greedy he'd decided to go for a walk after breakfast to build up an appetite for lunch， so he was mindful of he's weight。The only problem is that his eyes are bigger than he's belly and that got him into a whole load of trouble！Another wonderfully memorable character in Hargreaves Mr。 Men series。 In fairness to Mr。 Greedy he'd decided to go for a walk after breakfast to build up an appetite for lunch， so he was mindful of he's weight。The only problem is that his eyes are bigger than he's belly and that got him into a whole load of trouble！Another wonderfully memorable character in Hargreaves Mr。 Men series。 。。。more

Daniel ，

Kind of mean-spirited and dated in its approach to eating disorders。

Meredith ，

Mr。 Greedy loves to overeat until he is taught a lesson in moderation。After enjoying a large breakfast， Mr。 Greedy takes a walk to work up an appetite for lunch。 He discovers a mysterious cave in which is a staircase leading to a giant’s house。 When the giant catches him eating his dinner， he punishes Mr。 Greedy by having him clean the entire plate。 This is too much for even Mr。 Greedy who returns home feeling sick。This does teach Mr。 Greedy a lesson。 From that day on， Mr。 Greedy doesn’t eat as Mr。 Greedy loves to overeat until he is taught a lesson in moderation。After enjoying a large breakfast， Mr。 Greedy takes a walk to work up an appetite for lunch。 He discovers a mysterious cave in which is a staircase leading to a giant’s house。 When the giant catches him eating his dinner， he punishes Mr。 Greedy by having him clean the entire plate。 This is too much for even Mr。 Greedy who returns home feeling sick。This does teach Mr。 Greedy a lesson。 From that day on， Mr。 Greedy doesn’t eat as much。This picture book was written in 1971， and it would be considered insensitive and even offensive by today’s standards， which view being overweight as due to more complex reasons than a person loving to eat。 The moral of this story is definitely the product of another era。 It reminded me of how in the old days if a father caught his son smoking， he would have him smoke the whole pack to teach him a lesson。 Now he would receive a lecture about nicotine and drug abuse and the possibility of arrest since the legal age for tobacco use has been raised to 21。 。。。more

Edward Halliwell ，

Exciting use of language evokes the very constrained era of the time， with amazing character development that really increases one's empathy with the main character。 The denouement is exciting and well crafted together。 The symbolism inherent in the entire text created personifications of biblical sins， so may be a bit deep for some readers。 Exciting use of language evokes the very constrained era of the time， with amazing character development that really increases one's empathy with the main character。 The denouement is exciting and well crafted together。 The symbolism inherent in the entire text created personifications of biblical sins， so may be a bit deep for some readers。 。。。more

Very repetitive to the point it’s annoying。 A good lesson though。

1。 Summary: Mr。 Greedy is always hungry。 And as he keeps eating he keeps getting hungrier。 He was a very curious man who would do what he wanted to get to where he wanted。 He soon discovered very big food and had to eat it。 However， Mr。 Greedy gets taught a lesson very soon！2。 review: I didn't particularity like this book， I felt like the characteristic of greedy wasn't well portrayed here。 I felt as if they could have done something else other than be greedy with food。 3。 Books to Pair With: "T 1。 Summary: Mr。 Greedy is always hungry。 And as he keeps eating he keeps getting hungrier。 He was a very curious man who would do what he wanted to get to where he wanted。 He soon discovered very big food and had to eat it。 However， Mr。 Greedy gets taught a lesson very soon！2。 review: I didn't particularity like this book， I felt like the characteristic of greedy wasn't well portrayed here。 I felt as if they could have done something else other than be greedy with food。 3。 Books to Pair With: "Those Shoes" by Maribeth Bolts4。 Quote: "Greedy by Name and Greedy by Nature" 。。。more

A welcome trip down memory lane！I loved the Mr。 Men books as a child and I still love them now。Mr。 Greedy was always one of my favourites - just brilliant。

And so it came to pass that I had for the space of one weekend the box set of all the Mr Men books， and it was time to try and fill in all the gaps in an odyssey of epic proportions， so if you are Mr Men phobic you might want to look away from these reviews for a while。Because of one of my rules of reading， that is not reading the same author twice in a row， there will be a whole lot of other short books as well， this is truly a reading marathon。Anyway Mr Greedy， good stuff from Hargreaves here， And so it came to pass that I had for the space of one weekend the box set of all the Mr Men books， and it was time to try and fill in all the gaps in an odyssey of epic proportions， so if you are Mr Men phobic you might want to look away from these reviews for a while。Because of one of my rules of reading， that is not reading the same author twice in a row， there will be a whole lot of other short books as well， this is truly a reading marathon。Anyway Mr Greedy， good stuff from Hargreaves here， the only quibble I have with not just this one， but others is he seems to correct himself， but then when he appears in other books he is back to the old way he was。 Anyway a good fun story。 。。。more

Slow Man ，

Another charming of a little story。 It has a lot of food， a giant and someone by the name of Mr Greedy。 I think many of us revolve our lives with food and meals。 Food TV channels， food tubes， the advertisements about so many types of processed foods。 Planning lunch before starting breakfast。 No wonder we are all overweight。 We tend to move less and eat more。 ‘I really can’t help it when I spent so much time sitting on this comfy chair reading！’Beware of the expanding belly。 I tell myself and of Another charming of a little story。 It has a lot of food， a giant and someone by the name of Mr Greedy。 I think many of us revolve our lives with food and meals。 Food TV channels， food tubes， the advertisements about so many types of processed foods。 Planning lunch before starting breakfast。 No wonder we are all overweight。 We tend to move less and eat more。 ‘I really can’t help it when I spent so much time sitting on this comfy chair reading！’Beware of the expanding belly。 I tell myself and of course beware of turning into a fat ugly man。 。。。more

Mr。 Greedy is a strange and unusual story。 Mr。 Greedy somehow ends up in a magic castle of a giant。 The giant catches Mr。 Greedy and says “greedy by name and greedy by nature。” He forces Mr。 Greedy to eat a huge meal - which is pretty much a much as Mr。 Greedy weighs。 Then Mr。 Greedy learns his lesson and stops eating so much and loses weight。 This is fat shaming and there has been a lot of it in the past。 We know now that there are other reasons people can’t control their weight。This almost fee Mr。 Greedy is a strange and unusual story。 Mr。 Greedy somehow ends up in a magic castle of a giant。 The giant catches Mr。 Greedy and says “greedy by name and greedy by nature。” He forces Mr。 Greedy to eat a huge meal - which is pretty much a much as Mr。 Greedy weighs。 Then Mr。 Greedy learns his lesson and stops eating so much and loses weight。 This is fat shaming and there has been a lot of it in the past。 We know now that there are other reasons people can’t control their weight。This almost feels like a little mean spirited to me。 I enjoy Mr。 Men， but this is not my favorite and it seems more harsh than Roger usually goes in for。 I guess one out of 30 you don’t care for is pretty good odds。I didn’t think the message in this one was all that great for modern children， so I didn’t share this with the kids。 I probably should， but I have some friends I’m loyal to and this story would hurt their feelings。 So not passing this message along。 。。。more
