In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone.

Think I’m right in stating that as a boy I had all the pre-1990 Mr Men books with the possible exception of “Mr Snow”.Mr Silly was his favourite Mr Men story and, according to his family, encapsulates his humour most closely. He rents a room in a hotel, speaking to the hotel manager the wrong way around, "Afternoon good, I'd room a like. Even better, it turns out that even second class on the Eurostar has plugs for your laptop, and they even have free wifi on board – though like most free wifi connections I have encountered it is pretty slow (or it could just be my computer, it is over five years old now, though I really can't be bothered getting a new one). The colourful characters have been delighting children since Mr Tickle first appeared on bookshelves in 1971.

Then he went to an art gallery and insisted on hanging all the pictures upside down so that he could look at them properly.Everyone makes their own choices in this life, and that's fine, but I think walking around my hometown wearing just a hat and socks on his hands would be frowned upon. The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations.

Hargreaves was born in a private hospital at 201 Bath Road, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, England, to Alfred Reginald and Ethel Mary Hargreaves, and grew up in High Lees, 703 Halifax Road, also in Cleckheaton, outside of which there now is a commemorative plaque. Although the idea did not win the competition, Roger Hargreaves liked the idea so much he wrote to Marc Penfold saying he would use the idea. The hotel manager tried not to smile when he saw Mr Topsy Turvy walk into his hotel carrying his suitcase upside down and with his topsy turvy hat on his head. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). We didn't really understand how Mr Topsy-turvy just showed up unexpectedly and disappeared the same way.You ought to see his house, the front door is upside down to start with, and the curtains hang upside down! The book itself describes the very intriguing and complex mind of Mr Topsy-Turvy and shows him to be a character who single handedly says no against society's rigours. It's quite good but I don't think he came to my town(as the book said), because we don't have a train station. Mind you there are probably some things that Mr Topsy Turvey does that we shouldn't imitate, such as getting off the wrong side of a train (if that is possible since these days we have automatic doors, and even those doors that aren't automatic won't open no matter how hard with try – unless of course we happen to have a key).

What the town discovered, even though Mr Topsy Turvy had left, was that everything was still topsy turvy. Nobody is quite sure how Mr Topsy Turvy got there, or where he came from, but he did arrive, because somebody saw him getting off the train. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

He went to a library and put all the books upside down on the shelves, and made everybody extremely cross.
