Celebrate 50 Years of Mr Men at Pictures & Pages
Event Information
About this event
This year Mr Men celebrates 50 years of publication so we're hosting a special story time to celebrate the 50th birthday of some of the most iconic picture books ever published:
It all started with a question…
What does a Tickle look like?
The Mr Men began in 1971 when eight-year-old Adam Hargreaves asked his father an impossible question:“What does a tickle look like?”
50 years on, it’s fair to say that children around the globe
now know what a tickle looks like. It looks like Mr Tickle!
In 1971, six Mr Men titles were published –
Mr Tickle, Mr Happy, Mr Greedy, Mr Nosey, Mr Bump and Mr Sneeze.
Thanks to Puffin Books we also have a special 50th celebration edition of Mr Tickle to give away as a lucky door prize!
