This is my boyfriend! He’s super nosey and like Mr Nosey, it usually has funny consequences.

Re-read

We only just recently read Little Miss Naughty, and I see how similar these stories are. Mr. Nosey was written first, but reading this book second affected my enjoyment (despite the nostalgia). Still worth reading!

That is one hefty honker that Mr Nosey has (back in the day we used to call a nose a hooter, but that word has somehow shifted in meaning to another part of the body, thanks USA!!)
Anyway long nose and sticking in to other people's business, another Mr Men goldmine to dig and another gap filled as that is the first four books done.

It’s okay to be curious but it’s another thing to be nosey!
I read this Mr Men book to my daughter by request (though to be fair, she may have said Mr Noisy but this was the 1st one I came to!)
Mr Nosey just won’t stop sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong (figuratively and literally) and his neighbours are sick of it! So they come up with a plan to teach him a lesson so that he never sticks his nose in other peoples’ business again!
Mr Men books are short, fun stories with a little lesson and simple but bright artwork that appeals to children and adults alike and this 4th book in the series is no exception.
There’s a nice bit of repetition so that children can expect certain lines and join in, and it’s fun to see Mr Nosey punished. Operant conditioning in action, eh?

My nephew had to have one more story tonight. It had to be MR. Nosey.

Mr. Nosey has to stick his nose in everyones business. The town has gets very tired of how nosey Mr. Nosey is. So they decide to teach him a lesson. Any time he gets curious something happens to his nose. On one hand Mr. Nosey is curious and being curious in life is important. On the other hand, you can butt into other people's business and that will tic people off.

These stories are so entertaining. They are pure fun. I'm sure my nephew will have me read many of these as he is Mr. Men crazy.

Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!

These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.

Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.
