little miss somersault is the 30th book in the "little miss" series. little miss somersault is incredibly agile. when she goes for a walk, she cartwheels instead. instead of going through the front door, she climbs onto the roof first. instead of sitting in a chair while eating her lunch, she balances on the back of it. she jumps over mr. small's house, and talks on the telephone with one leg up. she gets the leaves off mr. worry's roof, but he has the ladder. little miss somersault doesn't need a ladder to climb up on the roof. mr. skinny paints the roof of his house; mr. bump bumps into the ladder (causing the paint to spill) but mr. skinny is rescued by miss somersault. the next day, everyone has heard about her daring deeds. mr. uppity calls her on the phone about the umbrella stuck in the chimney, and expects her in five minutes. it takes no time to climb onto mr. uppity's roof and get onto the chimney, but she is afraid of heights. mr. tickle brings miss somersault back down, and looks for someone else to tickle. someone talks to her on the phone about their hat which has blown off onto the roof, and her face turns pale because she does not want to climb. but it is mr. small; relieved, off she somersaults.
