Mr. Greedy and the Gingerbread Man Summary

Mr. Greedy and the Gingerbread Man by Adam Hargreaves

It's perhaps not so surprising to hear that one day Mr. Greedy was feeling hungry. And also not particularly surprising to hear that he made himself a giant gingerbread man. Bur before he has the chance to enjoy his snack the gingerbread man is on the run. The Mr Men and Little Miss Magic series takes kids on a series of sparkling adventures where they meet some extraordinary characters including a dragon, an ogre, a mermaid, a princess, a fairy, pirates and many others. These colourful adventures will delight children of two years and upwards. Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience. Have you collected all the Little Men and Little Miss Magic? Mr Jelly and the Pirates Little Miss Sunshine and the Wicked Witch Mr Tickle and the Dragon Little Miss Naughty and the Good Fairy Mr Strong and the Ogre Little Miss Trouble and the Mermaid Little Miss Lucky and the Naughty Pixies Mr Noisy and the Giant Little Miss Splendid and the Princess Mr Happy and the Wizard Little Miss Stubborn and the Unicorn Mr Nosey and the Beanstalk Mr Bump and the Knight Little Miss Shy and the Fairy Godmother Mr Greedy and the Gingerbread Man The Three Little Misses and the Big Bad Wolf Mr Funny and the Magic Lamp Little Miss Chatterbox and the Frog Prince It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr Men, was born. Mr Tickle was soon joined by Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr Silly.

About Adam Hargreaves

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. The idea that a tickle could be a character in its own right sparked an idea in Roger's mind. Roger was a successful copywriter but he wanted to do something that would enable him to work from home and spend more time with his four children. He wondered if he could make a living writing and illustrating children's books so he wrote the first Mr Men titles: Mr Tickle, Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh. Mr Silly was his favourite Mr Men story and, according to his family, encapsulates his humour most closely. Sadly Roger passed away in 1988, but his son Adam took over the series, introducing new characters and exciting new adventures. Roger once said, `I feel very happy to think that when the Mr Men and Little Misses are 100 years old, their readers will always be five.'
