Little Miss Splendid is the tenth book in the Little Miss series by Roger Hargreaves.
Story
Miss Splendid, lives in a mansion, with a golden bathtub and thinks she is better than everyone else. When she goes to town and sees a new hat in the window of a store that she simply must have, she buys it. When she's walking home, her friends ask her if she wants to take the bus she refuses.
