Little Miss Hug (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

Great classic book. Except for the part about even when Mr. Grumpy says he doesn't want a hug and she forces it on him anyway... not much about consent here. I love this book series, this one is just not quite the messages I'm hoping for my children.

This book is clearly written from a newer worldview than the older books in its series, but I seriously love the design of the new character. So, the purist in me clucks my tongue, but the fun part of myself says "Awww, but she's so cute!" Children of today will enjoy this little story and reminder of how much a hug can do for people.

What a shame, such poor quality, book fell apart. It's such a great story, wish it wasn't in pieces.

I liked the book because hugs make us feel better. I also liked the pictures and Little Miss Hug made me happy.

My 6 year old loves Little Miss and Mr Men books. This was a great addition to our collection.

It is just what I wanted - thank you!

Adorable and sweet, a good cozy read. Parents might need to explain that what's OK for storybook characters isn't always OK for real people, though: if somebody says no and pushes you away in real life, it's best to STOP HUGGING THEM. Other than that one flaw, children can learn a lot from Little Miss Hug's upbeat personality and willingness to comfort others; a few of my friends joked that the author must have based Miss Hug on me. ;-)

Did a box of hug related things for my niece for Christmas and this book was a perfect addition. Gave her a dose of my childhood.

These would work better as board books because they are kind of flimsy as paperback. But for the price they are super duper cute!!

Great classic books my 6 yr old loves her teacher introduced her and so happy she did

My 7 year old loved these books! Easy to read and made her laugh.

Why is the collection of Little Miss books twice as expensive as the Little Mr. collection ? I'd like more than 3 Little Miss books but a reasonable selection isn't offered.

Can't go wrong with Little Miss Books!

Gift

Love this cute little book.

Love these books and so do my grandchildren!

Bought this for my 2-year-old granddaughter and had to read it over and over and over...

Very cute story. My granddaughters liked it and I did too!

My daughter adores these books. They are mini-books and not the larger version.

Love the Mr. Men and Little Miss books !

Vey funny!

So cute, I bought several and gave them to all the kids in the family 5 and under as Valentines. Love this book!

Absolutely awesome story.

Love it

My son always loved these books and now i am buying them for my granddaughter. She loves them.

Love these books!

I loved this story. But I didn't give it 5 stars because the newer books don't quite have the same humour as the original Roger Hargreaves ones did. Still l loved it though. So sweet!

My child loves Little Miss and Mr Men stories. Little Miss Hug, however, carries a message I don't like - hugging Mr Grumpy without his consent. What is the point in explaining over and over again "your body is yours only" and "you can say no", if the books are showing something completely opposite?

Oh no! Little Miss Hug has a serious problem with consent. If Mr. Grumpy says no once, you can't hug him. If Mr. Grumpy says no over and over and over again and you still decide to hug him, then you have a serious problem. I read through this book when I worked at a bookstore and I could not in good conscience recommend it to parents. The content is too troubling. I love the other Little Miss/Little Mr books. This one is just too problematic.

This was a baby shower gift for a coworker who had never heard of the Little Miss books. She was thrilled.

An adorable book, perfect for a child needing a hug.

It is perfect for my kids and my ten year old loves it! You should really get this book. Little Miss Hug takes you one a great reading adventure.

Little Miss Hug does not understand personal boundaries. There are times where she hugs someone "just for the fun of it." The would-be protagonist's flaw is most evident in her encounter with Mr. Grumpy, in which disregards his repeated and clear denials of consent because in her own personal worldview everyone must desire her contact. But she cannot be evil or wrong, because she is shaped like a pink heart. Sadly, in the Mr. Grumpy encounter Little Miss Hug does not experience the much-needed epiphany of empathy in which she recognizes the harm she is causing and mends her ways. Instead, the youthful reader learns that “no” sometimes means “not yet, keep trying”. After a THIRD unwanted hug, Mr. Grumpy experiences “a strange, warm feeling spreading out from deep inside him” and comes to accept hugging. The lesson, of course, is that if you molest someone to orgasm, everything is A-OK. I wonder if the character’s genders had been reversed, and Mr. Hugs had imposed his will on Little Miss Grumpy, if this book would have made it to press. I wonder whether the fact that it's a female character exhibiting the offending behaviour does even more harm to building a culture of consent by modelling this behaviour as normal and even, by consequentialist reasoning, good. Seriously, how is this considered acceptable literature for children?

My granddaughter loves the Little Miss books and Little Miss Hugs looks like it will be a favourite as she herself loves giving hugs! This is a lovely story to read to a little girl but interesting enough for her to enjoy when she learns to read herself.

Excellent, my grandchildren love this book. Everyone needs a hug!!
