Story[]
Little Miss Quick is always in a hurry. She didn't even have time to finish tying a bow in her hair. She also has the urge to help. But because she is always rushing around, her actions only make things worse. She drops all of the postman's letters, breaks Mr. Strong's eggs, and leaves the lion's cage open at the zoo. Once the group of mad people surrounds her, she knows that she must run off as carefully as she can!
Trivia[]
- Although she never had any speaking lines on the 1995 show, she does speak briefly in the audio story 'When Little Miss Somersault Got a Job' as well as the 'Little Miss Christmas and Friends' audio CD, and also the Mr. Men Special Book, '12 Days of Christmas'.
- Even though Little Miss Quick is the twenty-third book in the Little Miss series, she is placed twentieth in the Little Miss Library, between Little Miss Busy and Little Miss Wise which were the twenty-second and twenty-fourth books in the Little Miss series, respectively, though they are respectively placed nineteenth and twenty-first in the Little Miss Library.
- She originated from France.
- Her favourite food is bread.
- She has made more appearances in recent years.
- She was given a pet tortoise in "Mr. Men - 12 Days of Christmas" that was seen again in "Mr. Men - The New Pet" and in "Mr. Men Little Miss - Vets."
- Little Miss Quick is a very talented dancer. This is proven in "Mr. Men and Little Miss Go Dancing" when she and Mr. Slow performed a very impressive slow-slow-quick-quick foxtrot, and in "Mr. Men Little Miss: Talent Show" when she, Mr. Cool, Mr. Skinny, Mr. Rush, Little Miss Neat, and Little Miss Fun formed a dance group.
- Mr. Cool, Little Miss Fun, and Little Miss Quick are the only characters in both stories to dance.
- She only appeared in Series 3 of the 1995 series.
- Like Mr. Snow, she is one of the two not to have any speaking roles in the 1995 series.
