Story
Little Miss Curious just wants to know everything. She is very curious looking and has a question mark shaped ponytail and a curious nature and she lives in a really nice and curious looking house with a curious looking garden that has question mark shaped trees in a country called Nonsenseland. She asked why do doors squeak but they are not grey with pink ears and long tails (she was probably referring to a mouse) but the door doesn't answer because doors can't speak. She then asks the worms why do they have bow ties in Nonsenseland. Then Mr. Nonsense shows up holding a sandwich filled with sand and she asks him why are sandwiches called sandwiches if they have don't have any sand in them. Mr. Nonsense says that he is eating a sand sandwich and that he is rather partial to sand because he also comes from Nonsenseland where everyone and everything do things differently to anyone else and then he goes off saying "Happy birthday". Little Miss Curious goes to the Nonsenseland Library to find a book that has everything that she wants to know, but the librarian becomes angry and scolds her for holding the queue to the counter and she asks her to leave. She then leaves the Nonsenseland Library then she sees Little Miss Careful wearing wellies and holding an umbrella and she wonders why she is wearing wellies and holding an umbrella if it's not raining. She then runs away in the end and the reader wonders where she is running off to!
The Mr. Men Show
Little Miss Curious appeared in the second season of The Mr. Men Show. She now has a dark yellow nose and freckles, she is a darker orange colour, her hair is a darker blonde colour, her bow resembles Little Miss Whoops' only blue, and her shape is changed from an oval to an extended rounded trapezoid. In Season 2, she didn't have any lines until the episode, Trees. She made short appearances in the episodes, Clean Teeth (her first appearance where she was shown at the end of the episode cleaning her teeth), Eyeglasses (appears on a plane), Gifts, Dining Out (where she appears at the ice cream sundae parlour with Little Miss Chatterbox and Little Miss Helpful and Mr. Strong tries to serve them ice cream sundaes), Game Shows, Sun & Moon, Sneezes & Hiccups, Skyscrapers, Radio, Cinema (where she appears in her car behind the drive movie theatre ticket booth), Pets (where she is shown cheering and running away from Little Miss Magic's magic fire-breathing goat, Nutmeg), Trees (where she speaks), Sand & Surf (where she is shown with a normal shaped ponytail instead her usual question mark shaped ponytail and she was also shown singing and dancing along with some of the other Mr. Men and Little Misses during Mr. Strong and Mr. Bump's 50's style music video, Beach Party A-Go-Go), Surprises (where she is shown shouting "SURPRISE!" and she is also shown with no drawn nose as the creators probably forgot to draw a nose on her), Parks, Travel and Pests (where she appears in Little Miss Naughty's ad for doing naughty things in the US version having a picnic with Mr. Quiet).

(in the US version)" (when she and Miss Sunshine talk to Mr. Happy about the cost of the admission to drive through tree tunnel and when Mr. Happy says that the admission is free and he is happy to answer any questions) and "Why did you drive into that tree after Mr. Happy said you wouldn't fit?" (after Mr. Rude stubbornly drives his oversized truck through the tree tunnel, even though he wouldn't admit that his truck was too large to fit through the tree tunnel and even after Mr. Happy warned him about driving his enormous truck into the tree tunnel due to his truck's enormous size and Mr. Strong tries to push Mr. Rude and his big truck through the tree tunnel) and "SURPRISE!" in the episode, Surprises.
