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”. Looking at all the covers apart from the latter jogged my memory.

Sadly I remember little about the stories now, despite reading them numerous times during my boyhood, plus watching the Mr Men cartoons more than once.

Reckon the last time I would’ve read these was 1983, though may have returned to them as late as 1985. Although I’ve forgotten almost everything about this title and all the others I feel that owing to the amount of times I read each publication that they all deserve to be rated five stars.

I’m grateful to roger Hargreaves for brightening up my childhood with both his Mr Men and the Timbuctoo series of books. ( )

In the words of Double-D, "Messy, Messy, Messy." ( )

Can Mr. Messy clean up his act?

This one reminds me of my sister. ( )

This book was about a character named Mr. Messy, who has a messy house and yard. He goes out for a walk one day and meets Mr. Neat and Mr. Tidy. He marvels how clean the house is that they are working on. Mr. Neat and Mr. Tidy decide to go clean up Mr. Messy's home. When they are all done, they put Mr. Messy in the tub and clean him up too.
This book has a lot of repetitive words and phrases. It also reinforces the importance of keeping your things and yourself clean.
