Mia finds her little brother Jim really irritating. He follows her round, takes her things, embarrasses her in front of her friends. Then, during an argument, she accidentally throws his much-loved toy Rabbit onto the roof. Upset and guilty, Mia runs off to hide, not noticing that she’s been followed by two colourful, cheeky, and very friendly little creatures.
She names them Miffkins and discovers Jim has been found by one too. Together, the Miffkins help rescue Rabbit, but more than that, they bring sister and brother together again. The story is very appealing, the Miffkins are very sweet indeed, and the message is delivered subtly and with real charm. A lovely book for families to share.
