Thank you Google! I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see Google's home page celebrating the 76th birthday of Roger Hargreaves, author of the Little Miss and Mister books. Bedtime stories were a huge part of my childhood, particularly this series. I was obsessed. Some of my favorites: Little Miss Shy, Little Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Messy and of course, Mr. Mischief. I have vivid memories of this book. My favorite part? You guessed it, it involves food. He mischievously fashions a cake out of mud, cotton, and toothpaste to give to the unsuspecting Mr. Greedy. What a trickster! I will never part with these books, even if it means they just end up in a box with old cassette tapes and other items that will be outdated by the time I have kids.
