A young boy meets a Mr Man that can do anything.

I really enjoyed the story – it had to enough to capture the imagination of young and old.

He is Impossible!

missed these

Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”. Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory.

Sadly I remember little about the stories now, despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood, plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once.

Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983, though may have returned to them as late as 1985. Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and all the others I feel that owing to the amount of times I read each publication that they all deserve to be rated five stars.

I’m grateful to Roger Hargreaves for brightening up my childhood with both his Mr Men and the Timbuctoo series of books.

I absolutely loved these Mr Men and Little Miss books. I remember getting them from my granny every week. There was so much from these simple characters, I remember filling my little bookshelf with all these books making sure I had got them all in right order. I wish I still had these books but somehow most of them got lost with many house moves or my mum gave the rest away. If I ever have kids, I will make sure they get the chance to experience these wonderful, colourful books.

Everything is possible with Mr. Impossible.

This man misuses his powers in a sick attempt to defy God.

This book was great too thank you so much thanks again too for thanks for thanks

This could be my favourite Mr so far! I loved reading about all the impossible things he could do - what fun! The illustrations were brilliant too.

Mr. Impossible is the 25th Mr. Men book in the Roger Hargreaves collection. The story begins with the character of Mr. Impossible, who, as suggested in the title, can do everything. Nothing is impossible for Mr. Impossible. He can fly, he can make himself invisible, he can jump over a house and many more generally ‘impossible’ things. He meets a young boy named William who is on his way to school. William invites him to attend his classroom with him. The teacher sets the class an almost ‘impossible’ maths equation to solve, the class struggle but Mr Impossible whispers the answer in William’s ear. When William goes home that evening, he tells his parents, with great passion, what a wonderful day he has had all because of Mr Impossible.

This is a simple story which shows the vivid imagination young children have. When William shares his experiences with his parents, Mr. Impossible reads as a fictional character, devised in the mind of William. Many young children have an imaginary friend who could mirror Mr. Impossible.

I really enjoyed reading Mr. Men books as a child and I am still able to appreciate them as an adult, Mr. Impossible being my favourite from the collection. I really like how the book gives children a sense of determination that anything is impossible when you set your mind to it.

I would recommend this book to Reception or year 1 children. It could be used in a Literacy lesson, as the book is fairly simple to follow. Children could create sentences of what other tasks Mr. Impossible could do. I think the story would also be enjoyable during carpet time, the phrase ‘it’s impossible’ is used a number of times throughout the book, therefore children can guess what is coming next. I believe this is a beautifully illustrated book which a lot of young children would enjoy.

We had read this before but new for this year and challenge. My daughter is doing letter I at school this week so she took this in as her show and tell item. We loved that Mr Impossible starts with I and he goes Invisible - another I! Another great Mr Men book - love the adult humor too - that the parents are unbelieving of the boy meeting Mr I!

super cool character who tries anything and everything. He does impossible things like walk up a tree and figure out a hard math sum super fast. Good story.
