A series of letters delivered to Mr Tickle, Small House at the other side of the Wood, Happyland result in all sorts of fun and games in this jolly Mr Men adventure.
The first letter is from Mr Silly: Mr Nonsense has lost his silliness and needs a tickle to make him smile. Of course, Mr Tickle sets off to help, using his map of Nonsenseland to help him find the way. Inside more special deliveries to Mr Tickle, readers will find a postcard and yummy recipe from Little Miss Sunshine, a leaflet and vouchers for the Happyland Fair and, possibly most fun of all, a photobooth strip of pictures of Mr Tickle and friends taken at the fair.
It’s impossible not to respond to the fun and happiness of the Mr Men world and who won’t relish delving into the envelope pockets contained in the book to explore their contents.

About Roger Hargreaves
Born in 1935 in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, Charles Roger Hargreaves is Britain’s third best-selling author of all time having sold more than 100 million books, including all the familiar Mr. Men and Little Miss characters. Roger Hargreaves followed a career in advertising before becoming an author and illustrator.
He wrote the first Mr. Men book in 1971 when his 8 year old son, Adam Hargreaves, asked 'What does a tickle look like?' In response, Roger drew a figure with a round orange body and long, rubbery arms and Mr. Tickle was born.
He initially had difficulty finding a publisher, but once he did, the books became an instant success, selling over one million copies within three years and spawning a BBC animated television series, narrated and voiced by Arthur Lowe.
By 1976, Roger Hargreaves had quit his day job as creative director of a London advertising firm. In 1981, the Little Miss series of books began with Little Miss Bossy. They were also made into a television series in 1983, which was narrated by John Alderton and Pauline Collins, who voiced the Mr. Men and Little Misses respectively.
Although Roger Hargreaves wrote many other children's stories, including the Timbuctoo series of twenty-five books, John Mouse, and the Roundy and Squary books, he is best known for his Mr. Men and Little Miss books. With his wife, Christine, Roger had four children: Adam, Giles, and twins Sophie and Amelia who were the inspiration for Little Miss Twins.
Roger Hargreaves died suddenly of a stroke 11 September 1988. Adam has continued to write and draw the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters in new stories. In April 2004, Christine sold the rights to the Mr. Men characters to the entertainment group Chorion.
