Roger Hargreaves first created the Mr Men series back in 1971 after his son asked him what a tickle looked like. Hargreaves then proceeded to use a string of emotions and actions and put them into picture format and tell a story about it. Mr Funny is the 18th book in the series. Mr Funny is a pale green circle, smily and with colourful red and white shoes. He has a tall yellow and blue hat with a flower sticking out of it, and really does look funny.

This book, written by Roger Hargreaves, is quite an ...  Read the complete review

As those of you who read a lot of my reviews will have gathered by now the Mr Men and Little Miss books are well loved by me. If you aren't one of those people then I shall simply reaffirm this. I love Mr Men and Little Miss. I always have done and I know I always will do. Luckily I am not alone in my love for them either as for many years now both the Mr Men and Little Miss collections have been firm favourites for children. The Mr Men series itself contains 46 books and the book I am reviewing today, Mr Funny, is number 18 in that series. Mr Worry is a roundish pale green character with a bright red circular nose. On his feet is a pair of clown style red ...  Read the complete review
