Ile didn't give me a choice

a classic, and who says i can't reach my reading goals by rereading the books i read when i was a child?

i don't remember much of how i felt about mr happy when i first read this book more than a decade ago, but this was a pretty cheery morning read for today :D

Classic!

The happiest man alive makes Mr. Miserable into his twin.

Mutluluk ve mutsuzluk üzerine 2.5+ çocukları düşünmeye sevk etmesi açısından hoş bir kitap. Ne yazık ki çok derin (katmanlı) bir mesajı yok. Ne de olsa basit mesajlar da kimi zaman faydalı olabiliyor.

Does Mr. Happy have what it takes to make everyone around him happy?

I remember this one very well from when I was little. Loved it.

Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!

These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.

Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.

I’m depressed.

Yet another tale of a walk in the woods, which leads to an adventure - my children are going to have great expectations of our next walk in some woods.

Plot wise, this is paper thin, and frankly would have got a lower score but for the fact that my daughter was sulking at the time we read this, so when I substituted her name for Mr Miserable's it garnered large laughs. So the story reflected real life for once and turned the "frown upside down".

The next time around reading it could prove deadly dull though...

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.

I'm left confused and bewildered by how Mr. Miserable is so unhappy living inside a magical tree house...
