5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top Mr. Men books!, November 12, 1998

By A Customer

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

Mr Greedy, along with Mr. Strong, is undoubtedly the top title in these books by Roger Hargreaves. As Sir Jonathan Hawkins MBE OBE Phd MP Esq. so eliquently put it "Roger Hargreaves is the ultimate children's writer and is a real aid to the little children that I so dearly love", and so the same can be said for all of us! In fact, as he is also a lecturer in child studies at Cambridge University, one of his students (who also happens to be his son, Jonathan Hawkins Jnr.) said that this set of books could be seen as a metaphor for the unpredictable upbringing of many children in our topsy-turvy society. The Mr. Men titles are a must read for all children, make sure that Mr. Greedy is part of your collection!! Mr. Greedy is about one particular character who cannot stop his eating habits, his friends try in various amusing ways to help their buddy out!

I know that Roger Hargreaves wrote these books when his son asked him what a tickle, a sneeze, a daydream, or a worry looks like. The first one was Mr. Tickle, then came Mr. Greedy. I know Roger Hargreaves wrote these as epitomes and personifications of behaviors, but I think the story would have been better off being about: "Mr. Greedy had plenty of stuff. But it didn't satisfy him-he just wanted more." and ends with him appreciating what he did have. Either that or he should have been called, "Mr. Plump" or "Mr. Glutton".

My 23 months old loved this book when we first got it. She asked me to read to her six times. Then all the sudden, she got scared of that Giant in this book, and refused to listen to it for a while. After I explained a lot to her, she now likes this book again.
