Mr. Men: Trip to the Moon by Adam Hargreaves
This is out of this world! A shiny special edition of Trip to the Moon to mark the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Get ready for an astronomical adventure as the Mr Men are going on a trip to the moon! Well, the Mr Men who can fit in a space suit and helmet! Will the moon really be made of cheese as Mr Greedy thinks and will there be any cows jumping overhead?! This galactic adventure has been adapted to an upsized picture book format, so that it can be enjoyed in even greater scale!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.'
