This is a great and fantastic children's book that teaches your child about happiness and its importance in their lives.

Cute book I read to my nine year old brother.

Instant favourite.

[review to follow]

After this I read: The Thousand Names

6 year old says... I like this a lot and I really like cheese. My favourite bit is where Mr miserable starts to smile. My favourite cheese is cheddar.

11 year old (1), says... Cheese.

11 year old (2), says... Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyz

12 year old says... Why is this book about a yellow mutation?

40 year old says... Another of the most famous and another of my personal favourites. Mr Happy cheers someone up, it's a nice story with a good moral. :)

BEST BOOK EVER

In which he meets Mr. Miserable.

I guess the most important thing from this and the other Mr. Men and Little Miss books is that even though you may be labeled and known as something, it doesn't have to be your fate. Anyone, even Mr. Miserable can change.

Cute ^_^.. I keep reading children books these days, and I don't feel guilty about it, every time I finish a child book, I've this huge grin :D

I think a copy of Mr. Happy ought to be in every home, every school, every neurotherapist's and every psychotherapist's office. It is a most delightful book about someone who is happy, someone else who is miserable, and how the one who had been so miserable ends up becoming happy very easily. And even though this little fiction book doesn't bring up science at all, what it has illustrated is in fact what is true about our brains.

One and a half stars for this book.
The story has some substance, and is nicely told. It has been a part of my memory for a very long time! The Mr. Men books also spawned a television series I enjoyed on Cartoon Network.

Great read. Puts my son right to sleep! :-)

Short and sweet. Both the book and my review. A children's classic, that can be enjoyed with just as much pleasure today as when it was written in 1971. Adorable story about being happy that will keep the attention of all who read it. I read the originals myself as a child in the early 70s and read them again to my children. The illustrations are the type that will have children trying to draw the men themselves and achieving good results. I'm wondering though what the "revised edition" means. The 1997 edition is still currently being published in North America. I have a feeling it may just have had "British-isms" removed but will have to find an early edition to compare someday.

I do like Mr Happy: he gets what’s important. As John Lennon once said:

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

Mr Happy knows. Listen to Mr Happy. He’s got the right outlook, optimism pure and simple. It gets him through the day; it gets him through life. So why not try it?
