Mr. Men: The Big Match

Mr. Men & Little Miss Celebrations

by Roger Hargreaves (Artist)

When the Mr Men and Little Miss decide to stage their own version of the World Cup, Mr Small is desperate to join in - but will he be just too small to make it into the team? With legendary saves from Mr Tickle, plenty of injury time from Mr Bump and Mr Noisy as the loudest referee around, this game of football is like no other!

Mr Men and Little Miss Celebrations introduce children to all the exciting occasions that people celebrate including birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, sporting events...and even a trip to the moon. 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.

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.

I really like it because Mr Small couldn't play as the ball was bigger than him
