5.0 out of 5 stars Poor Mr Bump, May 12, 2004

By

This review is from: Mr. Bump (Mr. Men and Little Miss) (Mass Market Paperback)

I grew up with these fun little books. I loved them so much, I used to carry at least one round with me wherever I went. It's nice to see that the Mr Men series is still around for little kids and their parents to enjoy.

Mr Bump is an accident prone guy. He's always breaking things or getting himself stuck. He can't get a job because he's always getting into trouble. He doesn't mean to, but he tends to have accidents whether he likes it or not. Will he find the job that's right for him?

The book has very colourful, cute illustrations. I remember as a kid thinking that even though Mr Bump had lots of accidents, he still had a nice, friendly town to live in. Roger Hargreaves' writing is easy for little kids to understand, while still often witty for the grown-up reader reading it to them. In a way, kids might be able to relate to Mr Bump, having lots of accidents and getting in trouble, even though he doesn't mean to.

I'd recommend this for any young children. If they enjoyed this book even half as much as I did when I was little, then it will have been well worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Bump: Vocational Guidance Counsellor?, June 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Bump (Mr. Men and Little Miss) (Mass Market Paperback)

My favorite of all the Mr. Men books! I love how Mr. Bump loses job after job because of his stumbling, bumbling nature. He simply bumps into everything! I suppose I love him best, because I can relate, being both clumsy and still not knowing "what I want to be when I grow up." Can you think of a job he would be suitable for? He eventually does find the perfect job, but I won't tell you what it is...

5.0 out of 5 stars You gotta love Mr. Bump, September 5, 2004

If you have an accident-prone person in your life, this is the perfect gift. Poor Mr. Bump is always bumping into everything, and he can't keep a job because he is always breaking things. The story of all the many jobs he has had is very amusing, and you will love the job he discovers he would be best at in the end. Mr. Men and Little Miss books are fun for kids of all ages.
