Mr. Men Little Miss Love

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves\' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. The idea that a tickle could be a character in its own right sparked an idea in Roger\'s mind. The book was an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters which have been delighting children and adults for generations. \'I feel very happy to think that when the Mr Men and Little Misses are 100 years old, their readers will always be five.\'
