Story

Little Miss Magic in the books

Little Miss Magic is the resident magician who has actual magic powers. Once Little Miss Magic got out of bed and tells her toothpaste tube to squeeze, and it did, this happened the same to the items at Breakfast. Then Mr. Happy came over looking the opposite to complain about Mr. Tickle, because he's tickling all the time. Little Miss Magic shrinks Mr. Tickle's arms and tells him to come to her house the next day. The next day Mr. Tickle came over to Little Miss Magic's house. Little Miss Magic said to Mr. Tickle 'One tickle a day'. Unfortunately, Mr. Tickle uses his 'one tickle a day' on her.

Little Miss Magic 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.

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.
