As a young child the Mr Men and Little Miss series of books were always a firm favourite of mine. They were so popular in my house that I had the teddies, the bedding, the curtains, posters, and mugs. I could go on but I'll stop. Come to think of I still have most of that stuff.

Mr Grumpy is the 27th of the popular Mr Men children's books written and illustrated by Roger Hargreaves. The books were a favourite of mine when I was a child, and now my son loves them as well.

He is blue with a green hat and has the grumpiest face you've ever seen. One day, he comes across Mr Happy, and stamps on his foot. He doesn't apologise, but what will Mr Happy do about it? Can he make Mr Grumpy get rid of his grumpiness? The book is a good one ...  Read the complete review
