Mr. Men: Pocket Library

Welcome to the Mr. Men Pocket Library – the perfect first introduction for young children to these fun and zany characters! The slipcase, which is packaged in shrink-wrap, features six board book stories about Mr Happy, Mr Messy, Mr Silly, Mr Bump, Mr Strong and Mr Tickle. The storybooks are made of robust board, and their small size and sturdy pages makes them perfect for young children to hold and play with, so they can explore the brightly-coloured images and turn the pages themselves. The pocket size of the slipcase makes it perfect to be enjoyed by young children when you're out and about – it's easy to pop into a bag for entertainment on the go. There's also a second fun feature to the set – the back of the books can be positioned to create one big picture of the Mr Men – children will enjoy helping their parent or guardian move the books into the right position so the full image can be revealed.

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves’ son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle was born and Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump soon followed. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations.
