THE late Roger Hargreaves founded Mr Men in 1971, when his then eight-year-old son, Adam Hargreaves, asked. “What does a tickle look like?”

In response, Roger drew a figure with a round orange body and extraordinary long arms and Mr Tickle was born. Mr Tickle then went on to sell a million copies in just three years.

Hargreaves is Britain’s third best-selling author of all time, having sold more than 100 million books, including all the familiar and much-loved Mr Men and Little Miss characters like Mr Cool, Mr Nosey, Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Giggles.

With a cast of more than 90 characters, Mr Men and Little Miss have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics.

Bold illustrations and hilarious stories make any Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged over two years.

Now, 50 years later, fans can enjoy a special upsized edition of the classic story with a bonus backstory by Adam about how it all began.

Keeping up the family tradition, Adam now creates illustrations for new Mr Men books.

This special edition of the classic Mr Tickle tale is now available with a gold foil cover and in a new large format. What a wonderful way for parents to share a much-loved favourite with their little ones.

Here is the perfect gift for fans of the Mr Men and Little Miss series!
