Mr. Busy (Mr. Men and Little Miss) Paperback – Picture Book, October 9, 2000

I read to 4th graders and they absolutely love these books. They request more and more of them. I'm glad a classic book from when I was young is interesting to kids now.

Always love the Mr. Men books, and Mr. Busy doesn't disappoint. The twist at the end is so endearing!!

Back to my childhood again these books are great

A sweet and simple series of books, most have a humorous twist and illustrations that engender a smile. Adults can appreciate them as they read them to the preschool to early elementary crowd.

especially if Mr. Slow is Mr. Busy's neighbor!!!Poor Mr. Slow just wants to take things... well, slow. But alas a rather busy and obtrusive Mr. Busy is determined to speed up his slow ways. After getting cleaned up, eating breakfast, and cutting the grass (all by 7am!) he decides to go on a picnic. So he goes into Mr. Slow's house, up to his room and wakes him up to go on his picnic. They end up eating in Mr. Slow's front lawn as well... Mr. Slow was too slow to get to the picnic grounds. Then Mr. Busy informs his slow neighbor that tomorrow they will get up a 6am!!!At 6am Mr. Busy rushes into Mr. Slow's bedroom to find... nobody. Nobody at all. So off Mr. Busy goes leaving a happy snoring Mr. Slow asleep under the bed!!!
