Mr. Slow: 39 (Mr. Men Classic Library)

Product Information

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. Actually, I'm not entirely sure which one comes first, though I suspect it is Mr Busy because Mr Slow actually talks about the time that he and Mr Busy went on a picnic. 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 think it's really funny that Mr Slow becomes a steamroller driver and runs over Mr Happy making him a happy pancake.

It feels almost as if he's reached the name Mr Slow amongst a list of possible books and then halfheartedly tried to come up with a story.Sadly Roger passed away in 1988, but his son Adam took over the series, introducing new characters and exciting new adventures.

Ha ha waiting for some geezer to comment on that, I'm sure it could become a political slogan - Me Men work why not you! Actually, I note that the word business actually contains the word 'busy' (or 'busi'), which suggests that the whole purpose of business is to keep up busy, maybe because if we are busy then we are distracted, and if we are distracted then we aren't going to be in a position to rock the boat. These hilarious tales with their bright, bold illustrations have been part of popular culture since the launch of the very first book, Mr.

Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged two up. The book cover has no visible wear, and the dust jacket (if applicable) is included for hard covers.
