I Love smiley faces I like them on balloons on shirts and on my underwear, but there was a book which was published on 1971 which is the year where the people made the smiley company but before there was the smiley company there was a third installment of the Mr. Men series which was published on August of 1971 and it was Mr. Happy. he was round and yellow and look liked a smiley face, he was inspired and had a very likely resemblance to the smiley face because it was very popular on the 70's at that time and he was mostly likely beloved by many of people , even the children like him too. so I wanted to read this book he is my favorite character and I watched the Mr. Men show before on boomerang and Seen that old cartoon of him in the 1970's on YouTube.
I read the Mr. men and LIttle Miss books when I was a kid, but a recent trip to London rekindled my love of this classic series. Aside from Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Happy is my favorite Roger Hargreaves book. Not only is it filled with page after page of a giant yellow smile, but it drives home the central philosophy that happiness is a choice. I've lived by that idea my entire life and I love seeing it in a children's book.
Mr. Happy has enough happiness for Mr Miserable as well. One day exploring his world, he finds a little down with stairs down to a dreary basement with the most miserable person in the world. Mr. Happy invites him up to his house to be happy. What I like is that Mr. Happy is willing to let Mr. Miserable take his time and get better. It was gradual and Mr. Happy didn’t rush him in the story. Mr Miserable did become happy.
This book is Stephen King's best yet. The gore is fantastic, the horror is real and you can really feel the character's pain. The torture sequences in particular are fantastic reading. Amazing fiction. Five stars
