Mr. Nosey is so nosey that he is always putting his nose into other peoples business. This book tells the story of how this can be very annoying to people, and what some people did to teach Mr. Nosey a lesson. Mr. Nosey learned a good lesson and is not so Nosey any more.

Mr. Nosey does not encounter any of the other Mr. Men from the Mr. Men series in this book. He does meet several people from the local town.

Of the Mr. Men books that I have read, I would recommend this one, it it not the best work by Roger Hargreaves, but it is near the top of the list. I would recommend Mr. Tall in addition to this one. If you do buy a Mr. Men book, then you should get a couple because they are very small.

I thought this book was cute and so do all the children--about 40 of them total--that I've read it to in classes. Mr. Nosey has a problem with wanting to know everyone's business...and the town is tired of it! What happens is cute---I know of some people that need this lesson in a HUGE way! Cute book.

These "Mr." and "Little Miss" books have delighted me ever since I read them to my kids. Written more to be read aloud, they are perfect for 4- to 9-year-olds with a sense of humor. You can almost hear the author smile as the words prod you to turn to the next page. Of course, the story line is completely silly (long-nosed man gets his nose painted, pinched, etc., by his neighbors to help cure his nosiness), but kids seem to love seeing these goofy people learn, through much slapstick, how to tame their excessive behavior. I only wish the female books were "Ms. This" and "Miss That" instead of "Little Miss." But that's just a wish from Big Ms. Feminist.

its along the lines of the other books he gets into trouble for being nosey
