I purchased this book for my 2 1/2 year old son. To be truthful, I also bought the book because I own a ’65 Morris Mini Cooper S, and I thought it would be a good book to add to my collection.

I will need to order another one for myself as my son can not let ‘Madam’s Mini’ out of his sight. He loves the beautifully drawn, vibrantly colored illustrations, and the story is very fun to read. It is his bedtime story of choice!

This is a book that I feel spans a wider age range than advertised. My son does not yet understand all of the story, but he loves pointing at the pictures of the Mini, which he recognizes as being the same as “Daddy’s car”. As he gets older, he will enjoy reading the story and understanding the positive message within about good things coming in small packages. Of course I equally enjoyed the book, with it’s great illustrations, and Madam’s humorous British sayings were entertaining. Therefore, I’d say the age range is at least 2 1/2 to 39 years!

Definitely worth a read.

Students grades 1-6 and teachers sure enjoy the story of Madam and her Mini! It is a fun story to read and listen to. My students enjoyed the different terms used for parts of the Mini and of course, the exciting race. The story as well as the pictures keep you engaged the whole time. What colorful and lively pictures!
