Story
Little Miss Careful original front cover
Little Miss Careful/Madame Prudente lives in a country where it is always sunny. Despite this, she always wears her rain gear in care it happens to suddenly rain.
She isn't as careful with other things though: as she enjoys sliding down the banister of her stairs every morning, she sticks her finger in a pot of boiling water to see if it is hot, and she carries her breakfast dishes carelessly and they all smash on the floor.
One day, she is invited to give a speech in her town's square on safety. On the way, she jumps out of a window in her house, and falls over, bumping her head. She sets off, running down the street and not watching where she is going. She runs into a painter's ladder and gets covered in white paint as a result.
She finally gets to the square for her speech, and she decides to leap up onto the stage instead of using the stairs. Typical of her clumsy, careless behaviour, she slips over and hits her head on the stage.
From that moment on, she decides to try and be a little bit more careful. She still slides down her banister, but while holding her umbrella open for a little bit more safety!
