Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”. Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory.

Sadly I remember little about the stories now, despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood, plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once.

Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983, though may have returned to them as late as 1985. Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and all the others I feel that owing to the amount of times I read each publication that they all deserve to be rated five stars.

I’m grateful to roger Hargreaves for brightening up my childhood with both his Mr Men and the Timbuctoo series of books. ( )

Part of the Mr. Men and little Miss Series, Mr. Happy is a short children’s book that does everything and anything that makes him happy. It is a very easy read for younger children between the ages of 3-6 and it allows them to understand what happiness is. The illustrations are very suitable for younger children because they are not too complex and are very simple

Does Mr. Happy have what it takes to make everyone around him happy?

I remember this one very well from when I was little. Loved it. ( )

Okay, I know this is kind of cheating, but I couldn't resist when I saw these books a Borders. The Mr. Men and Little Miss books are making a comeback - and have tapped into the T-shirt market, too, I've noticed. There's tons of these little books, and I think we read nearly all of them when my kids were little. They are very cute, very quick reads for story time with little ones. I highly recommend them!These books also make great gifts for little kids, they're just their size, like 5"x5". I'm thinking that a few of my friends may be seeing these in their baby shower baskets... 8-) ( )
