Little Miss Pretty has a blue body, a yellow nose, curly yellow hair, and pink cheeks. Miss Pretty wears silver shoes, gloves, a silver bow, and carries a matching handbag.Across three studies, we tested the presence of, and reaction to, gender stereotypes in a popular book series: Hargreaves’ Little Miss/Mr Men book series. Using a content analysis approach, guided by previous works and informed by recommendations for content analysis in gender scholarship (Neuendorf, 2010), we found that these books are generally consistent with the stereotype that women are passive and domestic, whereas men are active and adventurous (Study 1). Beyond the book contents, the adjectives assigned to each Little Miss/Mr Men title character were also readily categorised by gender even in the absence of any book or gendering information, further corroborating the gendered stereotypical nature of the books and indicating that people readily use and are aware of these stereotypes (Study 2). We also showed that parents generally prefer counter-stereotypical books to read to their daughters (Study 3), and this was not associated with feminist identity. Study 3 also demonstrated how, qualitatively, book choice is guided by consideration of gender stereotypes, and that at least in some cases parents prefer not to transmit gender stereotypical messages to their children. Ultimately, the three studies reported here contribute to the growing literature on gender portrayals in children’s books. Peterson, S. B., & Lach, M. A. (1990).
