Mr. Men: The Great British Tour by Adam Hargreaves

Little Miss Sunshine has bought a double decker bus to do her very own tour of Great Britain. Join the Mr Men and Little Miss as they climb aboard and go from John O’Groats to Lands End, taking in all the famous sights like Stonehenge, Caernarfon Castle, the Giant's Causeway and Ben Nevis along the way, not to forget their very special appointment with the Queen! With so many different Mr Men and Little Miss to please, will Little Miss Sunshine's tour be as great as she hopes?! The perfect gift for any child enjoying the sights of the UK. The Mr Men and Little Miss have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics. Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged two up. Have you met them all?

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.'
