Little Miss Scatterbrain (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

Product Information

Long List: Discussed in Dr. Fourth: "In fact, the list of things Daleks can't do is long, but not as long as the list of things that Daleks don't like." This is because the only thing they like is "exterminating things". Mr. Snooty is rude to everyone he meets, resulting in everyone calling him "Miserable Old Snooty", he grows out of it after meeting a goblin who punishes him by making him shrink every time he's rude to somebody. One-Steve Limit: Averted. When Mr. Lazy dreams he is forced to work by two men named Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle, the former is definitely not the Mr. Busy who has his own book. The stinger for where Mr. Right goes to bed at the end of the story, after Mr. Wrong has been living with him. In the bath.

Little Miss Greedy was greedy, indeed. It was her cousin, Mr Greedy's, birthday and he invited her to tea. What did Little Miss Greedy get her cousin for his birthday?Mr. Nonsense, as befits his name, has a truly nonsensical way of looking at the world. He sleeps in a rowboat (he found a motorboat too uncomfortable) and eats oatmeal on toast for breakfast (he tried oatmeal sandwiches once but didn't like them). The Ditz: Mr. Dizzy starts out living up to his name, coming up with bizarre answers to simple questions asked by a pig and an elephant purely to rub in how clueless he is (such as naming a mouse as a big animal with big ears). However, after drinking from a magic well, he becomes intelligent and turns the tables on them with style. Mr. Nosey, when the townsfolk conspire to accidentally hurt his nose every time he pokes it into other people's business. Intermission: The early 1980s VHS release for the Mr. Men Volumes had an intermission. The narrator is heard humming the show's theme song while wondering which Mr. Men is up next. Both Mr Impossible's Lesson and Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother involve Little Miss Shy being put through a gratuitous act of cruelty from one of the meaner characters (Mr. Snooty in the former, and Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty in the latter) and getting help via magical means. The key difference is that in the former, Mr. Snooty shows some honor at the end and thanks her along with Mr. Bump and Mr. Clumsy for preventing his house from burning down while in the latter, Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty receive little, if any repercussions for bullying Little Miss Shy for blushing.

Death Course: The Doctor and River Song have to traverse one for the second time that day in Dr. Eleventh to retrieve a MacGuffin. They have to climb up a rope ladder to escape Zygons, swing over Silurians brandishing lasers, brave a room full of Weeping Angels, wade through a pit full of snakes, and escape a Giant Spider. Once Little Miss Stubborn had made up her mind there was no unmaking it. How stubborn is Little Miss Stubborn? See what happens when she goes to Mr Strong's for some eggs.Animated Adaptation: To promote the first wave of books, Dr. Twelfth was adapted into a storybook short read by Michelle Gomez, the actress who plays Missy. Everything Trying to Kill You: A downplayed G-rated version with Little Miss Tiny. When she explores the farmhouse she lives in, she encounters creatures scary to her because of her tiny size such as a worm and a cat. Mr. Strong though rescues her from any possible harm. While dozing in a chair in the garden, Mr Lazy is wakened by two humans, Mr Busy note not the title character of a later Mr. Men book and Mr Bustle, who subject him to a gruelling routine of housework and a very long walk, and then a run. When one of the men blows a whistle to make him start running, the whistle turns out to be the whistling kettle boiling in the kitchen (which takes two hours in Sleepyland). It had all been a terrible dream! When Mr Lazy then falls asleep (yet again) when he sits down for his breakfast, we are left with an ambiguous ending. An unidentified voice says "Wake up, Mr Lazy! WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!" Is this another instance of Or Was It a Dream?, or is Mr Lazy simply repeating the dream he had before? Holding Both Sides of the Conversation: When Mr. Chatterbox has no-one whose ears he can talk off, he resorts to holding conversations with himself, as though speaking to his own identical twin.
