Mr Men ebay finds

I'm always seeing new things.....
Ebay is a great place to see rare Mr Men items.

The popular Mr Greedy, Mr Silly and Mr Forgetful feature in these computer games written for children of four years and upwards.

Entertaining and rewarding, the games are designed not only to be fun to play but also to help young children develop the skills they need when starting to read.

They are also a friendly and absorbing first introduction for a child to the exciting world of computers.

This is obviously rare as is over 20 years old!


good fun train..

a parachute if Mr Small falls..
its original art for Playhour late 70's..not drawn by Roger Hargreaves still nice childhood memories for me.

Comics for young kids could learn a lot from these two. Great drawings...a nice puzzle and good story which works even before words are added.

Roger Hargreaves- Little Miss Sunshine early version

From this book has the working of an early version of Little Miss Sunshine- Mr Happy's day out. This is 1975 the story. Little Misses books came out in 1981.






You can tell the drawings are not by Roger has the dog is very basic and comes from a drawing game...i.e a stickman is chased by bees...jumps into a pond(makng the nose and whiskers) then the stickman has two eggs and two sausages (the eyes and ears of the dog)
So the artist draws very simply.

Quite a 1970's baker man...very hippyish:)

In this story Mr Happy goes to different people to solve there problems making them happy.
Get your Little Miss Sunshine book out and compare the two.
Little Miss Sunshine meets the King rather than the Mayor is one difference.
The names of the places are Glumland which changes to Smile-ville in the gift book.
Little Miss Sunshine 1981 version is in miseryland and it changes to Laughterland.
Also the sign with the list of things people had to do is used in each story.





Its nice seeing the development of a story over many years.

Roger Hargreaves- on ebay! Sorry most of the pictures have disappeared!

IT'S FULL OF STORIES,GAMES & PUZZLES

Little Miss Stella is part of the Little Miss series of books. She is based on a real person: Stella McCartney, a fashion designer and daughter of rock star, Paul McCartney. Produced in a limited edition of 1000 books as fashion show invitations. Can Little Miss Stella help Little Miss Nobody be somebody?

This is one of a very few books printed worldwide, created with a fashion show invite on the back cover. This can complete the little Miss series that compliment the Mr Men books written by Roger Hargreaves. This book cannot be bought via retail as it was especially made and is one of the 1000 made that had to be received by personal invitation to attend the fashion show held in france in 2006.
