Mr. Men

Mr Happy probably appeared in more other Mr Men and Little Miss stories than any other character. He is seen in Mr Rude's story, as well as Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Helpful and more.

He went on an journey to cure himself, where he encountered sunshine and magic in equal proportions.

His poor red nose often needs a good blow, and he is never without his trusty hanky. But his sneezing ends up saving the day.

His accident-prone nature has cost him many jobs; but his luck changes when Mr. Barley the farmer employs him to work in his apple orchard. Now our bumping beauty spends his time wandering around the orchard, and knocking all the apples off the trees.

The two men “brushed, swept, polished and scrubbed”his house until it sparkled. And after they’d turned their attention to Mr. Messy, and bathed him, he looked in the mirror and remarked: “I’m going to have to change my name!”

His whole backwards life is; and his jumbled come out words. He comes to hotel in a stay, where he chaos causes town in the.

Going nightmare is a shopping for hapless shopkeepers; and street down the walking is very drivers for hazardous.

Thankfully our little friends the goblins take an interest in Mr Uppity, and use their magic powers to frighten him into behaving like a decent person.

Mr. Small is, unsurprisingly, the smallest of the Mr. Men. He lives in a house underneath a daisy, at the bottom of Mr. Robinson’s garden. His tiny size is an occupational hazard, as he soon finds out when he falls into sweet jars, mustard pots and match boxes. But he finds eternal happiness and fame when a man decides to write a book all about his adventures.

However boring his life sounds, it soon becomes exciting when Mr Busy and Mr Bustle come to visit him. They've got all sorts of things for Mr Lazy to do, but he is never too keen to be getting on with them, not when there's sleeping to be getting on with!

He performed his unique act of amusing magic at the zoo, which was closed due to all the animals having colds. Good old Mr. Funny pulled funny faces at the elephant, the lion, the bear, and the giraffe, and left them in fits of giggles.

He’s only too happy to lend a hand, but instead, usually ends up making the situation worse. Ask him to push and he’ll pull. Ask him to pick something up, and he’ll put it down.

But the clever people of Seatown realised that the way to get him to do the right thing, is to ask him to do the opposite.

He’s not very bright; and all his neighbours delight in making him look stupid. When Mr. Dizzy drinks the water from the wishing well, he magically becomes intelligent; and is able to outwit the pig and the elephant who had both made him look silly earlier.

And it just goes to prove that if clever people can be confused by nice but dim Mr. Dizzy, then they should dobbit.

His strength sometimes gets him in trouble, and he regularly breaks everything he touches by accident. But sometimes it helps save the day, especially if there is something really heavy that needs carrying.

Everything he touches, breaks or ends up where it shouldn't. Everywhere he goes, chaos erupts.

No one can hear him, and everything scares him there. Luckily for him, Mr Happy comes to the rescue, and finds him a far more suitable life and job.

The trouble is that he goes so fast that he doesn't get anything done properly, that is until he gets his ideal job... A Postman!

It takes him just four minutes to walk 40 miles; he can step over trees; and he can dangle his feet in the sea whilst sitting on the edge of a cliff. But Mr. Tall is gloomy about his long legs.

Luckily, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Nosey and Mr. Greedy are on hand to tell him that over proportioned body parts can be a benefit.

Being the best friend of Mr. Silly, and living in Nonsenseland, he certainly lives up to his name.

When it snows (yellow snow, of course), the two of them go tobogganning in their makeshift toboggan - Mr. Nonsense’s bed boat!

And somehow he manages to make square snow balls!

Everything about his life is a shambles until he meets Mr Right, someone who looks just like Mr Wrong, but is exactly his opposite.

Mr Right is determined to turn his new friend into someone right, but then everything goes terribly wrong!

Mr. Greedy eats anything and everything in abundance; whilst Mr.Skinny survives on one cornflake, a baked bean and the world's smallest sausage.

Mr. Happy, Mr. Greedy, and Mr. Funny all fall prey to Mr. Mischief and his tricks. Until, that is, he meets a wizard. As Mr. Mischief tries to swap his magic wand for a piece of wood, the wizard grabs him by the nose, and warns him he won’t get away with his tricks again. As the mischievous man goes home, all the pranks he played on the others are repeated on him, and he learns his lesson.

But not for long … as Mr. Fussy finds out to his cost.

Not only that, but he has some fantastic gadgets, such as his alarm clock that makes tea; and his toothbrush that squeezes out the toothpaste for him. How clever!

But Mr. Clever is also very smug. He believes that no one can get the better of him, because of his superior intelligence. But of course, many do … and Mr. Happy is one of them.

Mr. Busy lives next door to Mr. Slow, which must make life unbearable for both of them.

He's very useful to have around when any of the other Mr Men are in trouble.

Except when it involves heights or getting the wrong side of Little Miss Bossy!

He hates laughing; he hates singing; he hates people who pretend to be clowns. And he hates being turned into a pig; which is exactly what happens whenever he grumbles.

Luckily the wizard's spell works it's magic, and Mr. Grumble stops his moaning in order to stop himself oinking.

He is perfect.

When Little Miss Splendid demands he take his hat off when greeting a lady. In doing so, he reveals that he has only three hairs on the top of his head. Little Miss Splendid reminds him it is not his hair, but his large smile that people love him for. As the final sentence in the final book reads …

“Hats off to Mr. Cheerful!”
