Mini Mimi is as brazen as she is bright. Not afraid to speak honestly to adults, Mimi is found suggesting a sensible solution that her supposedly superior seniors have let slip. This tale introduces environmentalism, empowerment and creative thought, in a short story that will be loved by both children and adults. The book is great fun to read to younger children, with its amazing alliteration and sensational silliness, but it is even better for challenging confident early readers.
