Story

Little Miss Magic in the books

Little Miss Magic is a resident magician who has actual magic powers. At the beginning of the story, Little Miss Magic gets out of bed and tells her toothpaste tube to squeeze, and it does, similarly happening to her items during breakfast. Mr. Happy then comes over, looking the opposite, complaining about Mr. Tickle tickling all the time. The next day, Little Miss Magic shrinks Mr. Tickle's arms and tells him to come to her house. The next day after that, Mr. Tickle comes over to Little Miss Magic's house and she returns his arms to normal, but says to Mr. Tickle 'You can have one tickle a day!'. Unfortunately, however, Mr. Tickle gets his revenge by using his 'one tickle a day' on her.

Little Miss Magic's first edition

The Mr. Men Show

Little Miss Magic appeared in the second season of The Mr. Men Show. She kept her round body, yellow nose, and brown hair, but she is now fully orange and a black top hat that floats with a pink flower similar to Little Miss Bossy's flower replaces her green striped bow. A pair of fuchsia Mary Janes with sparkles replace her red sneakers, and her freckles are no longer visible. She has a Scottish-Welsh accent in the original US version and an Irish accent in the UK dub. Her teleporting seems to amuse everyone, especially Miss Scary and Miss Chatterbox, but Mr. Fussy thinks it's rude. Her spells go 'Bibbledy-boop and Bibbledy-(insert rhyme)', but are also completely unreliable, often producing results other than the intended ones.

She is voiced by Prudence Alcott in the US version and Emma Tate in the UK version.

Miss Magic In The Mr. Men Show

In several episodes, she accidentally used her magic to transform certain characters into items depending on the situation. A listing of such transformations can be found on this page.
