2008-11-02 Mr. Strong Makes A Big Difference

I love Mr. Strong's story because it shows the good and the bad of his special ability. Yes, he is VERY strong, and as a result, he took his door off the hinges, and unintentionally causes damage elsewhere.

However, his super-strength comes in handy, and he does some very impressive things to save a burning cornfield. His reward? Eggs! Perfect, since he eats so many eggs every day - most likely for the protein.

I always thought of this book as a story about doing the best with what you have. I loved them as a kid in the 70s, and I love reading them to my son even more.

Another favorite of ours is Mr. Bump (Mr. Men Classic Library). Each book shows all the Mr. Mens on the back, so you can decide what you would like to look for next.
