Mr Strong is the 26th 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. The author started writing them in 1971 after his son asked him what a tickle looked like and he drew it, resulting in the first book in the series, Mr Tickle. Mr Strong is a red square shape, with a small green hat. In the story, we are told that he can bend an iron bar and put a knot in it, and throw a cannonball like we could throw a bouncy ball. However, sometimes, being strong is not the best thing as he knocks over trees and breaks the door of his house. His ...  Read the complete review

'Mr Strong' is number 26 in the very popular Mr Men series by Roger Hargreaves. The main character of the book, Mr Strong himself, is so strong that he can hammer nails into the wall just by tapping them with his finger!

The simple, bright illustrations, which are on the right of every double page, are perfect in ...  Read the complete review
