Mr. Clever (Mr. Men and Little Miss)

Rating:
Summary: The Border Between Reality and Clever Clever Land
Review: This is a short fabulous story in the powerfully beautiful Hargreaves Mr Men & Little Miss series. What happens to Mr Clever when he passes beyond the boundary of his Cleverland? He finds for all his cleverness, he has little practical knowledge. A friend of mine said to me that this is similar to college graduates who, after leaving university, find little practical application for all their clever thoughts. This is very true and this small book would make a good joke gift for graduates for this reason. You will find many small but profound similarities between the characters in these little books. They are sharp and witty looks at single aspects of people's personalities. No doubt adults as well as children will draw much enjoyment from them.
