Little Miss Whoops goes to visit her brother, Mr. Bump. Unfortunately, disasters happen.
In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show she keeps her pink nose but her hair is invisible, a pair of glasses and a pink bow replace her bandages, and her color is a lighter shade of blue; she is slightly less round. As her name suggests, her catchphrase for the show is "Whoops!". She also says that she doesn't like "flat food" and claims she's a "trained professional" at everything she does. While in the book she is Mr. Bump's sister, it is never mentioned in the TV series (except on the Cartoon Network site) although they are the same color and equally clumsy. Their relationship was hinted at by the way they interacted ("Actually it's me, Mr. Bump"; "Mr. Bump, we make quite the team"); she really wanted Mr. Bump to celebrate her birthday in "Parties" and the Mr. Men Annual 2010. In the UK and US versions, she is voiced by Alicyn Packard and Teresa Gallagher respectively. Little Miss Whoops has also been published under the alternative title of Madame Malchance (French) and Menina Disparate (Portuguese). It was thought that this was the final book in the series, but then Little Miss Princess was released and it was confirmed that Adam Hargreaves will be continuing the series.
