Little Miss Scatterbrain (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

Product Information

Mr. Clever's book has him walking home in sadness due to not feeling quite as clever as he thought he was, then to add insult to injury it turns out that he's going in the wrong direction.

Fake Crossover: This series is a whimsical recasting of Doctor Who characters and typical plotlines into a lighthearted children's book universe, not meant as canon to say the least! Little Miss Scatterbrain can never remember the names of the other Mr. Men and Little Misses, and calls them by the wrong names. She can't even remember the name of her own cottage. Little Miss Scatterbrain also goes to the bank and tries to get sausages instead of money, and later calls the butcher "Mr. Beef" instead of "Mr. Pork." Heel–Face Turn: Many of the rude Mr. Men or Little Miss often pull one at the end of their titular story. In 2017, an unusual Spinoff launched: a series of books plus a line of tie-in merchandise adapting characters from the beloved Science Fiction show Doctor Who into these books' art style and story format. Each book features one of the Doctor's many incarnations (specifically the ones numbered One through Thirteen) with the titling convention of Dr. First, Dr. Second, and so on. Tropes featured in this spinoff have their own listing below.

I Shall Taunt You: Missy constantly taunts Dr. Twelfth for being "old and slow" during The Chase. This figures into her Evil Plan in that goading him into trying to catch her is a way of distracting him from noticing she's leaving Cybermats in her wake. Animated Adaptation: To promote the first wave of books, Dr. Twelfth was adapted into a storybook short read by Michelle Gomez, the actress who plays Missy. Both Mr Impossible's Lesson and Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother involve Little Miss Shy being put through a gratuitous act of cruelty from one of the meaner characters (Mr. Snooty in the former, and Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty in the latter) and getting help via magical means. The key difference is that in the former, Mr. Snooty shows some honor at the end and thanks her along with Mr. Bump and Mr. Clumsy for preventing his house from burning down while in the latter, Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty receive little, if any repercussions for bullying Little Miss Shy for blushing. Little Miss Bossy, Little Miss Dotty, Little Miss Greedy, Little Miss Star, Little Miss Contrary, and Additional Voices

Real Men Wear Pink: Or rather, are pink in the case of Doctors Third and Sixth. The former's dark magenta and the latter's a brighter pink; in both cases, these are reflections of their TV counterparts' costumes (the latter's being infamously garish). E = MC Hammer: In the Mr Men Annual No. 3, a worm in Cleverland is seen reading a book. Among the squiggles representing the text, E=mc 2 is visible. Mr. Brawler · Mr. No · Little Miss Brilliant · Little Miss Busy-Body · Little Miss Carefree · Little Miss Careful · Little Miss Loud · Little Miss Pretty · Little Miss Prim · Little Miss Show-Off · Little Miss Yes Little Miss Greedy was greedy, indeed. It was her cousin, Mr Greedy's, birthday and he invited her to tea. What did Little Miss Greedy get her cousin for his birthday? Little Miss Chatterbox is a recurring character in the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show. Miss Chatterbox keeps her looks and, as usual, Miss Chatterbox never shuts up. Miss Chatterbox annoys Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Rude with her talking. Her house is on top of a hill, and shaped like a telephone. In the US and UK versions, Miss Chatterbox is voiced by Katie Leigh and Teresa Gallagher respectively.When She Smiles: Mr. Grumpy in the aforementioned Road Trip book. During his trip across the United States with the other characters, he does nothing but complain. At the end of the book, he admits he had a good time because being grumpy makes him happy, causing him to break out in a happy smile. Characterizing Sitting Pose: Mr. Clumsy always sits "in a not-so-neat and tidy fashion" (depicted with one leg over the arm of the chair). Mr. Greedy and his cousin, Little Miss Plump (later renamed Little Miss Greedy), are both defined by their enormous appetites.

Mr. Dizzy lives in Cleverland, where everyone makes fun of him. He drinks some magical water and becomes the smartest man of all. Little Miss Wise liked to go for a walk every day. On her walks she often met other people who were not quite so wise. Will she be able to be wise and keep her friends? British Brevity: The original 1970s Mr Men series ran for two seasons of 13-15 episodes, while the 1980s Little Miss series ran for one season of the same length. This was conveniently enough to adapt most of the books made at that point in time however.

Mr. Mean is so mean, that for Christmas, he gave his brother a piece of coal. After he had reformed and become more generous, what did he give him the following year? Do you really want to know what happened? Two pieces of coal. Dr. Twelfth has him trying to stop Missy's string of jewel heists across Earth's history — and then he takes a moment to wonder why she wants the jewels. Retracing their steps, he discovers it was her cover for seeding Earth with Cybermats. He takes care of that and finally catches her afterward.

Constantly Curious: Little Miss Curious, as her name indicates, has an unquenchable thirst for answers to all sorts of questions, such as why the worms in Nonsenseland wear bow ties. The End of the World as We Know It: Dr. Twelfth knows that this is what Missy's usually up to, but he has to figure out exactly how jewel heists factor into her current scheme.

Success!
