What does the Pageticker team say about Little Miss Sunshine?

Little Miss Sunshine is classic Roger Hargreaves: bright, brisk and cheerfully bonkers, with a simple idea that lands neatly for young children. As the fourth Little Miss book, it sends its relentlessly sunny heroine into Miseryland to show that kindness and laughter can change the mood of a whole community. The message is rather direct, but the bold illustrations, playful place names and upbeat humour make this a winning choice for shared reading.
