We can ALL relate to this installment in the Mr. Men series. A man who talks too much, all the time, and about nothing in particular. However in this story a solution is found via the magic of a magic hat!
After chatting to the hat maker all day long the hat maker orders a magic hat!
This hat grows ever time Mr. Chatterbox chatters aimlessly about nothing much in particular. When the hat finally reaches the ground Mr. Chatter box is quite perplexed. After some silence on his part the hat shrinks back to its normal size. After a few of these hat incidents Mr. Chatterbox finally learns his lesson! And everyone lives happily ever after.

I am an elementary teacher and I use these books in my class to supplement our Character Ed program (which isn't the greatest). My students love the Little Miss and Mr. Men books. I have to keep them behind my desk and let them "check them out" like library books or they fight over them. The are excellent to use in a pinch if you have a book that pertains to a problem that has developed in class (especially rudeness or bossiness). It is easy to read the book and have a quick class chat about what is going on. I highly recommend all of the books for anyone who teaches, home schools, or children in general. They are a great asset.

The Mr. Men series is really wonderful for kids 5-8 years old. Each book tells a simple story with an important (yet easy-to-understand) moral. The illustrations are very bright, colorful, and humorous. Adults enjoy reading it along with their kids.

Mr. Chatterbox teaches the reader about modesty and the importance of listening. As his name suggests, he talks too much! His friends find a clever way to keep him quiet and make him a better listener. Could this apply to me as well as to my child?

Mr Chatterbox never stops talking & folks cannot get a word in. One day he orders a new hat from Mr Bowler. Mr Bowler orders him a magic hat which Mr Chatterbox is unaware of. When the hat arrives, Mr Chatterbox is thrilled & starts to go on & on & on but as he does so the hat grows bigger & bigger & bigger until all you see is his feet. He soon learns his lesson & starts to think before he speaks.

This really teaches young children in a fun way.

We bought several of the books in this series for our son. Lots of action on the pages, a fun read.
