Mr. Men at the Park — Adam Hargreaves

When Mr Happy invited Mr Bump to the park, he thought it was a great idea. A picnic, boating on the lake, a bike ride and fun in the playground. What could possibly go wrong? The Mr Men and Little Miss Every Day series takes Roger Hargreaves' beloved characters on trips and activities that children will recognise from their own lives. All the Every Day Adventures have a 'Where's Walter' feature with Walter the worm hiding in every story making for a fun and interactive reading experience for children aged two years and up. Have you collected all the Every Day Adventures? Mr. Men at the Park; Mr. Men on Holiday; Mr. Men go Swimming; Mr. Men Ballet Show; Mr Men Rainy Day; Mr Men on the Farm. 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, the first of the Mr Men, was born. Mr Tickle was soon joined by Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr Silly.
