In this story the audience gets to emphasised with bullied Mr Dizzy， and his bullies get their comeuppance。 However， there's an unfortunate fatphobic line， which puts a damper on the positive vibe。 In this story the audience gets to emphasised with bullied Mr Dizzy， and his bullies get their comeuppance。 However， there's an unfortunate fatphobic line， which puts a damper on the positive vibe。 。。。more

This is an odd one， even by Mr。 Men standards。 Firstly， Hargreaves has shied away from calling the less-than-bright protagonist ‘Mr。 Stupid’ or something that actually describes him in the way that most of the other Mr。 Men’s names do。 Going by the books in this series， you might go into this one expecting Mr。 Dizzy to be a vertigo sufferer。Our uncharacteristically coyly named hero is also a victim of flat out bullying， which is a somewhat harsher treatment than the other negatively traited Mr。 This is an odd one， even by Mr。 Men standards。 Firstly， Hargreaves has shied away from calling the less-than-bright protagonist ‘Mr。 Stupid’ or something that actually describes him in the way that most of the other Mr。 Men’s names do。 Going by the books in this series， you might go into this one expecting Mr。 Dizzy to be a vertigo sufferer。Our uncharacteristically coyly named hero is also a victim of flat out bullying， which is a somewhat harsher treatment than the other negatively traited Mr。 Men generally experience。 Most of them are met with exasperation at worst， often quite kindhearted exasperation。After having his nega-trait vanished by an， admittedly fairly standard， magic ballet， Mr。 Dizzy responds by exacting revenge on his bullies by giving them the same treatment they gave him， with some physical violence thrown in for good measure。This probably makes most 21st century adults a little uncomfortable， message-wise， but I guarantee the majority of kids will love it， due to the final page zinger of a punchline。 It made me laugh， anyway… not that that’s saying much， to be fair。My next book: The Prince of Graustark 。。。more

This not a very nice book。 I hate it when people try to use knowledge to make themselves superior and someone else feel small。

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

Oh， what a pitty。 The jokes were really funny， especially the ending line:' I duppose doo dink dat's fuddy'， but there were some issues which impeded from really enjoying the story:- the name of the character is a bit misleading， I was expecting him to be dizzy （i。e。 to suffer from vertigo） not be less clever than the others;- the dizzyness issue is solved through magic which can send the wrong message to children;- once he becomes clever Mr。 Dizzy goes back to make fun of the people who bullied Oh， what a pitty。 The jokes were really funny， especially the ending line:' I duppose doo dink dat's fuddy'， but there were some issues which impeded from really enjoying the story:- the name of the character is a bit misleading， I was expecting him to be dizzy （i。e。 to suffer from vertigo） not be less clever than the others;- the dizzyness issue is solved through magic which can send the wrong message to children;- once he becomes clever Mr。 Dizzy goes back to make fun of the people who bullied him 。。。more

Mr。 Dizzy is teased for his lack of cleverness by the other inhabitants of Cleverland， but when he drinks from a wishing well， he has the last laugh。Poor Mr。 Dizzy is not very clever and thinking makes his head spin， a trait which is magnified by residing in Cleverland。 The clever folk of Cleverland regularly take advantage of Mr。 Dizzy's discombobulated nature to have a laugh at his expense。 One day after two such incidents， Mr。 Dizzy decides he doesn't want to talk to anyone else。 There is a s Mr。 Dizzy is teased for his lack of cleverness by the other inhabitants of Cleverland， but when he drinks from a wishing well， he has the last laugh。Poor Mr。 Dizzy is not very clever and thinking makes his head spin， a trait which is magnified by residing in Cleverland。 The clever folk of Cleverland regularly take advantage of Mr。 Dizzy's discombobulated nature to have a laugh at his expense。 One day after two such incidents， Mr。 Dizzy decides he doesn't want to talk to anyone else。 There is a sad illustration of Mr。 Dizzy shedding a tear。 He takes a long walk during which he stumbles upon a well。 When he drinks from the well， little does he know that it is a wishing well。 And whomever drinks deeply from a wishing well will have his wish come true。 Still feeling sad， Mr。 Dizzy wishes he were clever， and his wish is granted。 When Mr。 Dizzy encounters the two characters who ridiculed him earlier， he easily outwits them to their -- and his -- astonishment。 Then he turns the tables and plays a trick on them。As with Charlie Brown stories， Mr。 Men and Little Miss stories often depict real meanness and real sadness。 （Of course， children can be incredibly mean if they have a mind to， so this element shouldn't be surprising。） But unlike Charlie Brown， the belittled character usually comes out on top in the end。When I picked up this book， I expected Mr。 Dizzy to have vertigo or to spin round and round like a top instead of walking in a straight line。 So， this story surprised me。 Apparently， "dizzy" is an antiquated way of saying "stupid。" 。。。more

While the jokes in this book were funny， I don’t think the bullying depicted was very nice， especially when the victim later became a bully himself。

Basically， this is a revenge tale for children。 Mr。 Dizzy is mercilessly teased for not being as clever as the rest of the people in cleverland。 After a wish is granted， he is and he humiliates them right back。 Why is MR。 Dizzy called Dizzy？ He should be Mr。 Slow or something else。 He never speaks of being Dizzy。 This is about being Clever or not。My favorite line from the book is the Pig was downright， if not downleft miserable。 Ha， that cracked me up。 I didn’t like this one as much as other。 I Basically， this is a revenge tale for children。 Mr。 Dizzy is mercilessly teased for not being as clever as the rest of the people in cleverland。 After a wish is granted， he is and he humiliates them right back。 Why is MR。 Dizzy called Dizzy？ He should be Mr。 Slow or something else。 He never speaks of being Dizzy。 This is about being Clever or not。My favorite line from the book is the Pig was downright， if not downleft miserable。 Ha， that cracked me up。 I didn’t like this one as much as other。 I felt it was mean spirited。 My nephew thought it was brilliant。 He gave it 5 stars。 Berenstain Bears， Sweet Pickles and Mr Men are big hits in our house。 。。。more

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。

Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”。 Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory。Sadly I remember little about the stories now， despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood， plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once。Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983， though may have returned to them as late as 1985。 Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”。 Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory。Sadly I remember little about the stories now， despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood， plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once。Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983， though may have returned to them as late as 1985。 Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and all the others I feel that owing to the amount of times I read each publication that they all deserve to be rated five stars。I’m grateful to Roger Hargreaves for brightening up my childhood with both his Mr Men and the Timbuctoo series of books。 。。。more

We got plenty of footage out of this library book。 I was really interested in James' response to Mr。 Dizzy's payback to the mean pig and elephant。 The first time we read it James thought that Mr Dizzy was mean for tying the elephant's trunk in a knot。 But today， after its umpteenth read-through （and without specific comment from me at any time about who was mean or about the morals of payback）， James just laughed at the end and said "I dink dat's fuddy"。 （A quick summary of the book: Mr Dizzy is We got plenty of footage out of this library book。 I was really interested in James' response to Mr。 Dizzy's payback to the mean pig and elephant。 The first time we read it James thought that Mr Dizzy was mean for tying the elephant's trunk in a knot。 But today， after its umpteenth read-through （and without specific comment from me at any time about who was mean or about the morals of payback）， James just laughed at the end and said "I dink dat's fuddy"。 （A quick summary of the book: Mr Dizzy is extremely not-clever， but the clever pig and the clever elephant deliberately show him up and laugh together about him。 Then Mr Dizzy drinks long and deep from a wishing well， wishes he was clever， and when they next jeer at him and he realises he's just as clever as they， he makes fun of them by asking riddles they can't answer and turning the tables by his new-found cleverness。） 。。。more

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。
