Reading Rocks: Little Ray of Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine
As today would have been the 76th birthday of Roger Hargreaves (RIP), I thought it would be a good day to mention the wonderful Mr. Men and Little Miss books, of which he was the writer and illustrator. Even the Google "Doodle" today features Little Miss Sunshine, among others!

I loved the Mr. Men and Little Miss stories myself as a child, with their friendly, engaging characters, colourful illustrations and funny little stories. This year is also the 40th anniversary! You can see the full spectrum of misters and misses here on the Mr. Men website.
