I gave this to my 3 year old nephew. After his mother read it to him, he called me on the phone very excited to tell me how much he enjoyed the book.

The children in my family have recycled and shared many of the Little Miss and Mr. books by Roger Hargreave for the past several years. But the favorite seems to be Mr. Sneeze.I recently found an old copy of Little Miss Trouble that belonged to my youngest child who is now a junior in college. He was excited but said " I'd give $100.00 for Mr. Sneeze". It is still out of print, but amazingly his cousin still had my son's original copy! He was estatic to find it under the Christmas tree this past Christmas! So... Mr. Sneeze never grows old!

My 3 year old loves Mr. Sneeze! It is a cute story and we enjoy reading it. However, there are several typos in the book. I could excuse just one, but after finding three I was annoyed. It seems like it would take a good editor only 5 minutes to read through and correct the story, but apparently that did not happen with this particular book.

I am a nanny and the 6 year old boy that I take care of loves these books. All the "Mr." books are great. My kids loved these when they were young too and that was 25 years ago!

Mr. Sneeze just keeps giving and giving. This book is amazing; our daughter has heard it over and over and still wants more. It is the perfect length, not too long, not too short (she never looses interest). I would definitely recommend this to everyone who has kids.

The electrifying opening of Mr. Sneeze smash-cuts into the Land of Mr. Men.

One of the more harrowing sections is when Mr. Sneeze accepts he will always sneeze.

The rage-fueled memoir is kept in check by Mr. Sneeze's cool, minimalist style. The book could have benefited from being a bit leaner. Nearly 40 pages is a long time to spend under Mr. Sneeze. His style may seem too self-conscious for some readers, but beyond the literary fireworks lurks a fierce debut.

This review owes a great deal to Amazon's review of James Frey's debut memoir, A Million Little Pieces,
