Mr. Birthday

Mr. Birthday is part of the Mr. Men series of books, by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Birthday is a Mr. Man who just loves birthdays, and is also the best at organising birthdays, such as a party with silly hats for Mr. Silly, and one without balloons for Mr. Jelly, in case they burst. He once organised Mr. Happy's birthday, which he celebrated. Mr. Happy tells him not to forget about a party he knew nothing about: his own birthday. Mr. Worry and Mr. Forgetful spread rumours about this, but can Mr. Birthday celebrate this birthday? Mr. Birthday was published under the title of Monsieur Anniversaire in French.

Mr. Bolt

Mr. Bolt is a yellow Mr. Man that is based on Usain Bolt. He will join the series, but this is currently unconfirmed.^[6]

Mr. Bounce

Mr. Bounce is the 22nd book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Bounce is a yellow and round Mr. Man who wears a pink hat. Mr. Bounce bounces around like a rubber ball, making life very difficult for him. One day, after first bouncing into the duckpond at a farm and then banging his head on the ceiling from bouncing off a chair, Mr. Bounce has decided he's had it with all this bouncing about and decides to see the doctor about it. On the way, however, he trips on a pebble and becomes a tennis ball for a pair of tennis players, but after taking a bus to the doctor's, Mr. Bounce bounces into the doctor's office and into Dr. Makeyouwell's mid-morning coffee. After Mr. Bounce explains his problem, Dr. Makeyouwell gives him heavy red boots, which he wears to bed that night. The next morning, he falls through the floor straight into the kitchen.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, he looks the same as in the books except his hat has a stripe on it, but unlike the books, he actually likes bouncing about (his favourite bit) to the point where it causes chaos for the other Mr. Men and Little Misses of Dillydale, especially when out in public. Mr. Bounce speaks with an Indian accent in the US version and an Irish accent in the UK version. His catchphrase is "Hello! Goodbye!" (not to be confused with the Beatles' song of the same name, which has a comma and no exclamation marks). He often speaks quickly. In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Sam Gold and Simon Greenall, respectively.

Mr. Bounce appears under the titles Monsieur Bing (French), Don Saltarin (Spanish), Meneertje Buitel/Meneertje Stuiter/Meneertje Stuiterbal (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Χοροπηδούλης (Greek), 蹦跳先生 (Taiwan), Unser Herr Hupf (German), Senhor Saltitão (Portuguese), and Mr. Pramsach (Irish).

As a result, Mr. Brawler has a plaster (bandage) on his forehead. Mr. Brawler appears under the titles Monsieur Bagarreur (French), O Κύριος Καβγατζής (Greek).

Mr. Brave

Mr. Brave is the 40th book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Brave is the most courageous person in the world, or so everyone thinks. The truth is that Mr. Brave is really a lucky coward; however, he has two fears: heights and Little Miss Bossy. Mr. Brave has an oval-shaped yellow body, visible yellow arms and legs, and a yellow nose. Mr. Brave is a yellow Mr. Man who wears round glasses and a red and blue, striped baseball cap. Mr. Brave appears under the titles Monsieur Courageux (French), Don Valiente (Spanish), Ο Κύριος Γενναίος (Greek), 勇敢先生 (Taiwan), 용감씨 (Korean).

Mr. Bump is the 6th book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Bump is a blue Mr. Man who just can't help having accidents. He has a hard time doing any job because he keeps falling, getting stuck, breaking things or hurting himself accidentally. When on holiday, he falls into a deep hole on a beach, goes boating, and falls into the water, but in the end, he does find the perfect job: walking around and bumping into trees in Mr. Barley's apple orchard, making the apples fall off the trees.

In the book Mr. Bump Loses His Memory, he falls out of his bedroom window and bumps his head, promptly causing him to get amnesia. He is told by Mr. Muddle that his name is, in fact, Mr. Careful, thus encouraging our confused Mr. Bump to try several jobs for which great care is needed, such as carrying eggs and delivering milk in glass bottles. His memory is restored when he walks into a tree, causing him to fall into a river.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Bump is the show's de facto mascot, a regular character who kept his looks except one of his bandages is gone, his color is now a dark shade of blue, and is always having accidents more often than not non-bump-related ones (such as accidentally being cleaned in a car wash). Like Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Small, his favourite food is liverwurst sandwiches, as mentioned in the Beach episode. He lives in an olive, square-shaped house with a black chimney, arched windows, and a bandaged roof. Little Miss Whoops (his next-door neighbour/sister), Mr. Tickle, or Little Miss Helpful are often the causes of his accidents. His catchphrases are "Poopity-poop", usually exclaimed when his situation turns bad, and "You'll never learn" to himself. In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Paul Greenberg (credited as Aaron Albertus) and Simon Greenall, respectively.

Mr. Bump appears under the titles Monsieur Malchance (French), Don Pupas (Spanish), Meneertje Pech/Meneertje Bots (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Σκουντούφλης (Greek), 意外先生 (Taiwan), 꽈당씨 (Korean), Mr. Hergwd (Welsh), Unser Herr Schussel (German), Fætter Bumle (Danish), מר בום (Mar Boom, translated as Mr. Boom; Hebrew), Herra Skellur (Icelandic), and Senhor Trambolhão (Portuguese).

He looks out the window and meets Mr. Daydream, who invites Jack to come on an adventure with him. They get on the back of a huge bird, and the bird flies them from place to place. In the jungle, a crocodile tricks them into using his back as a bridge and tries to toss them into his mouth, reminiscent of what the fox did to The Gingerbread Man. The bird rescues them and takes Jack and Mr. Daydream to other places, such as the North Pole, and finally to the Wild West, where Mr. Daydream puts on a hat too big for him, and cannot see. He calls Jack's name from under the hat, and Jack realises that it wasn't Mr. Daydream calling Jack's name, but his teacher.

Mr. Fussy is the 21st book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Fussy is a perfectionist. He would not tolerate anything imperfect. Mr. Fussy keeps his hair combed, his moustache trimmed, his shoelaces tied, his house very neat, and goes as far as keeping the blades of his grass perfectly straight. He is also a very fussy eater - when he is having breakfast, he discovers that his marmalade has bits in it and spends the rest of the morning removing the bits from the marmalade. One evening, he is working when his cousin from Australia, Mr. Clumsy, comes to visit. Mr. Clumsy causes chaos and at the end of his stay, everything in the house is disastrous. However, things just get worse for Mr. Fussy as shortly after Mr Clumsy leaves, a friend, Mr. Bump, comes to visit.

In earlier prints, Mr. Fussy's shoes were red, but as of more recent prints, they are bright orange. In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, he was renamed Mr. Persnickety (Mr. Pernickety in the UK version; both are another word for fussy) and was coloured light green in Season 1. He was renamed back to Mr. Fussy in Season 2, retaining his look from the first season, albeit now appearing in his normal dark green colour (though he was miscoloured to his Season 1 colour in a shot in the episode "Cinema" and Mr. Messy changing him to his Season 1 colour in the episode "Home Improvement"). His catchphrases are "Mr. Messy!" and "Sweet Henrietta!" ("Sweet apple strudel!" in the UK version, in line with his German accent in that version). On the website, he says "How revolting". Mr. Fussy can play the piano (both his concerts were ruined by Mr. Rude and to that extent, if unintentionally, Little Miss Chatterbox), the cello, and the harp. He is also very clean and will not tolerate anything dirty as well as being fussy about details. He retains his yellow nose and neatly combed hair but was given a black bow tie, reading glasses, brown shoes and a more neatly waxed moustache. He lives next door to Mr. Messy in a duplex-style house. He despairs (even crying) at the end of almost all of his scenes. He often gets kicked out or yelled at when he is using his temper on another Mr. Man or Little Miss (such as Mr. Messy, Mr. Rude and Little Miss Naughty) and he has terrible classes. He and Mr. Messy often are at odds. In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by Joey D'Auria (credited as Joseph J. Terry) and Rob Rackstraw, respectively.

Mr. Grumpy is the 27th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Grumpy is the grumpiest person in the world. He's always in a bad mood, hating anyone or anything he comes across. He can't stand books so he tears out all of the pages, and he is rude to Mr. Happy who comes to visit. Mr. Happy makes Mr. Tickle tickle Mr. Grumpy if he is mean to somebody, working because it makes Mr. Grumpy nicer. He laughs out happier. Nowadays, when he picks up a book, he only tears out one page.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Grumpy kept his blue colour, big, blue nose, and rectangular body. However, he wears a crooked hat with a stripe instead of a top hat, but retains its green colour; he looks much more mature and so does his voice. Unlike in the books, he actually enjoys reading. He is a frequent victim of Mr. Tickle and is quite bitter about it, going so far as to invent the Tickle Protector to ward him off. He strongly dislikes Mr. Tickle and Mr. Scatterbrain, due to frequent incidents with them and is annoyed by happiness. His catchphrase is "Crooked cucumbers!". Like Mr. Small and Mr. Bump, his favourite food is liverwurst sandwiches, as mentioned in Beach and Construction. His favourite TV show is called "Trout Tuesday", which has been run at least once by Mr. Lazy. According to what he said in the episode Farm, he was raised in the country. In the episode Dance, he was writing his life story (and was continuously interrupted by Mr. Noisy's dance class upstairs), which he sold in Books. He also now lives in a small brown house with signs that say "Go away" and have frowns on them in his front yard, and a vegetable garden with a peach orchard in his backyard (which Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops ruined). He is polite and civil to anyone he talks to, but is very vocal about his opinions and can be rather cynical, sarcastic, jaded and even brusque at times. In the US version, he is voiced by Sam Gold and in the UK version, he is voiced by Simon Greenall.

Mr. Grumpy appears under the titles Monsieur Grincheux (French), Don Malhumorado (Spanish), 暴躁先生 (Taiwan), Ο Κύριος Κατσούφης (Greek), Unser Herr Griesgram (German), Senhor Rabugento (Portuguese), and คุณหงุดหงิด (Thai).

In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Sam Gold, Simon Greenall (Season 1) and Rob Rackstraw (Season 2), respectively.

Mr. Lazy is the 17th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Lazy is lazy, he lives in Sleepyland, where there are only four hours a day, as opposed to 24, and it takes two regular hours for water to boil and three regular hours for bread to toast. One day, Mr. Lazy sits down for a nap and is awoken by Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle. They overwork him, until Mr. Bustle blows a whistle, requiring Mr. Lazy to run as fast as he can. Mr. Lazy runs, but his legs don't get him anywhere because he is sitting on a chair in the garden. He wakes up, realising it was all a dream, and the whistle was the kettle boiling in the kitchen. He sits down to have breakfast, and he goes to sleep yet again only for the events in the dream to really happen.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, he is more "lazy" rather than "sleepy" as he was in the books and hates work. His colour is changed from light-pink to sea-green, his shape is now changed into a human-shaped body, he now has a dark green nose, and his hat is now changed into a pink or red newsboy-style cap that covers his eyes. He also wears socks and flip-flops. He lives in a camper-style trailer, with the garbage cans and mailbox overfilled with trash and mail, respectively. Mr. Lazy speaks with a monotone voice that sounds like Eeyore's from Winnie The Pooh. His catchphrases are "This is exhausting", "Woah!", and "This is too much work". In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by Phil Lollar and Tim Whitnall respectively.

Mr. Messy is the 8th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Messy is pink and really messy but has a really nice smile. Mr. Messy lives in a messy house until Mr. Neat and Mr. Tidy come to clean his house and give him a bath (his first ever, as the bathroom had previously been the messiest of the house). He becomes neat and thinks he has to change his name. Mr. Messy then becomes clean.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Messy is not only messy but unclean and unhygienic also, notably more than he is messy, and he acts more like a fun-loving teenager who loves to party a lot, slightly similar to that of Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He was given blue and white sneakers (similar to Little Miss Chatterbox's, only with patches of dirt on the toes, and both on occasion in the show and in his character image, one of them with untied laces), and his limbs are also made solid, instead of scribbled like they were originally. Also, his house is no longer by itself in a messy field. He lives right next door to Mr. Persnickety (U.S.) / Mr. Pernickety (UK) (originally named Mr. Fussy in the book series and also in the second series) in a duplex-styled house. He also owns a pizzeria. His catchphrases are "Shazam!" and "That's what I'm talkin' about!". On the website, he says "Messy, not dressy". In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by series art director, Peter Rida Michail, and Rob Rackstraw.

Mr. Messy appears under the titles Monsieur Sale (French), Don Lioso (Spanish), Meneertje Knoeipot/Meneertje Sloddervos (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Τσαπατσούλης (Greek), 邋遢先生 (Taiwan), 너절씨 (Korean), Mr. Anniben (Welsh), Unser Herr Schlampig (German), Bay Dağınık (Turkish), Fætter Sjusk (Danish), Herr Rotekopp (Norwegian), מר שלומפר (Hebrew), Herra Subbi (Icelandic), and Senhor Desmazelado (Portuguese).

One day, Mr. Mischief tries to steal a wizard's wand and swap it for a piece of wood, but the wizard stops him and teaches Mr. Mischief a lesson by turning the tables on Mr. Mischief.

He was supposed to live in the country, but he, who built this house, built it wrong and in the wrong spot. One day he goes fishing with a fisherman named George and does the wrong things, and they don't catch any fish. George's technique is to ask Mr. Muddle to do the opposite of what George wants, and Mr. Muddle will get it right. George gets everybody to do this, and Mr. Muddle goes home and cooks himself a muddled-up meal to celebrate.

Mr. Noisy is the 16th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Noisy is always loud. He lives on the top of a hill and must go to Wobbletown at the bottom of the hill to do errands. He shouts to Mrs. Crumb, the baker, "I'D LIKE A LOAF OF BREAD!" and he shouts to Mr. Bacon, the butcher, "I'D LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT!" Having just about had it with Mr. Noisy's noisiness, Mrs. Crumb and Mr. Bacon come up with a plan. The next day, when Mr. Noisy goes shopping at both their shops again, Mrs. Crumb and Mr. Bacon just pretend not to hear him. The next day, when Mr. Noisy tries again at both shops, he realises that he has to be quiet if he's to get what he wants. He also learns not to clump his shoes, not to open and shut doors loudly, and he also learns to whisper.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Noisy remains relatively the same in terms of appearance, though his shoes are changed from orange to brown and he is given a megaphone-styled bullhorn to emphasise his character trait. His boots make loud stomping sounds when he walks. He lives next door to Mr. Quiet in a stereo-shaped house. His catchphrase is "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" and occasionally "THIS IS SUPER!". His last appearance was in the episode "Travel", where he turned into a giant, red, loud whale by Little Miss Magic after he said that he was as thirsty as a whale, but he may appear in a new season someday. In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Richard Epcar and Rob Rackstraw, respectively.

Mr. Noisy appears under the titles Monsieur Bruit (French), Don Ruidoso (Spanish), Unser Herr Laut (German), Ο Κύριος Φασαρίας (Greek), 시끄럼씨 (Korean), 吵鬧先生 (Taiwan), Meneertje Brulmans (Dutch), מר קולרם (Hebrew), and Senhor Barulhento (Portuguese).

Mr. Nonsense is the 33rd book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Nonsense lives in Nonsenseland, in a house on top of a tree. When Mr. Happy asks him why he lives in a tree, his answer is: "I tried living on the ground, but it was too high up, so I moved to a tree to be nearer the ground". Then, when Mr. Nosey asks him why he eats porridge on toast, his answer is: "I tried porridge sandwiches and I didn't like them." Then when Mr. Strong asks him why he sleeps in a rowing boat, his answer is: "I tried sleeping in a motorboat and it was somewhat uncomfortable." Mr. Nonsense is best friends with ‘Mr. Silly’. Once, when it snows yellow snow, they go for a toboggan in Mr. Nonsense's rowing boat bed and build square snowballs somehow. They then eat porridge pie for supper.

Mr. Nosey is the 4th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Nosey is represented as being a prying character, who invades the privacy of other people, creating a point of conflict in the book. In retaliation, the other characters assault his nose, which reforms Mr. Nosey.

In earlier illustrations, Mr. Nosey's nose was much longer and less pronounced than it is in newer illustrations. In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Nosey is light green and has a shape similar to that of Mr. Greedy (therefore giving him a nose-like appearance), his nose is an orange oval, has one curl of hair, and wears a black necktie. His name is also spelt as Mr. Nosy in the US broadcast. He is often seen with his best friend Mr. Small. He may be stronger than Mr. Strong, and often when he jumps he breaks things, like in the Lake episode where he breaks the wooden platform. His catchphrase is "Just looking". He lives with Mr. Small in an observatory with a large telescope that comes out of the roof. In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Rick Zieff (credited as Danny Katiana) and Steve Kynman, respectively.

Mr. Quiet is the 29th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Quiet lives in Loudland, where everybody and everything is too loud for him. Loudland would be suitable for Mr. Noisy, but not for Mr. Quiet. Mr. Quiet is scared. Whenever he tries to go shopping, he can only whisper what he wants, which results in the grocer, the milkman, the baker, and the butcher shouting "CAN'T HEAR YOU! NEXT PLEASE!" One day, Mr. Quiet gets a letter from Mr. Happy to stay in Happyland, where Mr. Quiet gets a job in a library, where the rule is to always be quiet. Mr. Quiet is so happy he laughs out loud.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Quiet is of a normal size instead of a small size like in the books, he changed his colour from light brown to light blue, and two of his hairs are gone. He also lives next door to Mr. Noisy in a small shack-like house, with a Zen Garden. In some situations where other characters he is with are debating, only he is aware of the dangers around them, even if he is subject to dangerous situations himself. He has a taste for Asian things, such as Chinese vases (as seen in "Music") and a zen garden (as seen in "Gardens"), perhaps an allusion to the "quiet Asian" stereotype. He has a barely audible accent, which can cause confusion with some other characters. His catchphrase is "Not so loud!" In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by Paul Greenberg (credited as Aaron Albertus) and Simon Greenall, respectively.

Mr. Quiet appears under the titles Monsieur Silence (French), Don Silencioso (Spanish), Don Calladito (Mexican Spanish), 조용씨 (Korean), 安靜先生 (Taiwan), Ο Κύριος Ήσυχος (Greek), Unser Herr Leise (German), and Senhor Silêncio (Portuguese).

Mr. Rude is the 45th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves and the second one created by Adam Hargreaves. Mr. Rude is a red Mr. Man with a black hat, a rounded triangle body, a dark red nose, he also has a French accent (alluding to the stereotype that the French are rude people) and, as his name suggests, is rude to everyone. He insults a man with a big nose and an overweight woman. To the overweight woman, he says "Fatty! You're supposed to eat the things in the fridge, not eat the fridge as well!" Mr. Rude is published as Monsieur Mal-Élevé in French, Don Grosero in Spanish, O Κύριος Αγενής in Greek, Senhor Rude in Portuguese, and 粗魯先生 in Mandarin.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Rude kept his red colour, dark red nose, French accent, and shape, but he doesn't wear a hat (only in some episodes, which is rare.), wears brown shoes and has three hairs on his head. His catchphrase is "I'll give you..." (depending on what episode; e.g. in the episode "Clean Teeth", he says "I'll give you unacceptable!") followed by a segment of flatulence that can be heard anywhere in Dillydale. After this, the Angry Heads (a Mr. Men or Little Miss) shout "Mr. Rude!" (among the most common Mr. Men and Little Misses that do this are Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Bump, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Small, Mr. Happy, Little Miss Scary, and Little Miss Helpful; as is the case of Series 1). In the episodes "Hotel" and "Inventions" Mr. Happy is in the crowd too. He also owns a car service. In both US and UK versions, he is voiced by Joey D'Auria (credited as Joseph J. Terry).

He is in such a rush he has a terrible breakfast (toast not toasted, water cold), only brushes one tooth, and runs out of the house to go nowhere. He sees an ad for a vacation in a magazine but can't go away because he has no money, so he wants a job to make money. Being a bus driver isn't good because he doesn't stop at any of the stops, and being a waiter isn't good because he'd whisk away the food as soon as he brought it. The job he finds is as a postman delivering express letters, the best job for the fastest thing on two feet. He saves enough money and goes on vacation.

He always says "Well, why didn't you say so?" (evident that he has short-term memory loss) and "Where's my head?". In both the U.S. and UK versions, his voice shifts around from high to low, very much like actor Ed Wynn. Little Miss Scatterbrain is his book counterpart. In the French version, he is called Monsieur Tête-en-L'air and, in the Portuguese version, he is called Senhor Distraído. He has a New York accent in both versions and is played in the US and UK Versions by Joey D'Auria (credited as Joseph J. Terry).

Mr. Small is the 12th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Small is a Mr. Man who lives under a daisy at the bottom of Mr. Robinson's garden. He eats very enormous meals, and talks to Walter the Worm about getting a job. He then meets Mr. Robinson, who tries to get him a job. They try putting mustard in mustard jars, and they try putting matches into matchboxes. Neither job goes well. It's decided the best job for somebody so small is writing children's books. Mr. Robinson introduces Mr. Small to a friend who writes children's books (referring to Roger Hargreaves) and writes a book all about himself. This Mr. Men book thus breaks the fourth wall.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Small is considerably larger (about twice the size of a slice of bread) and is orange. He also wears a tall black top hat (similar to Abraham Lincoln's) instead of a blue bowler, is an egg-like shape, and wears a pair of white sneakers. Like Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Bump, his favourite food is liverwurst sandwiches. He also is able to speak in French and Spanish. He behaves in a rather cheerful, gentleman-like manner and he likes saying "Good tidings!" and "Great McGillicutty!" His best friend is Mr. Nosey, and they live together in an observatory with a large telescope coming out from the roof. They also often pilot strange machinery that they themselves use. In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by Phil Lollar and Keith Wickham.

Mr. Small appears under the titles Monsieur Petit (French), Don Pequeño (Spanish), Unser Herr Winzig (German), Mr. Bach (Welsh), 小不點先生 (Taiwan), 작아씨 (Korean), Meneertje Klein/Meneertje Mini (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Μικρούλης (Greek), Fætter Fnug (Danish), and Senhor Pequeno (Portuguese).

Mr. Spendy

Mr. Spendy is a very obscure Mr. Men book. Unlike the other Mr. Men and Little Miss books, this book was made and published by somebody other than Roger Hargreaves. It was published by Kathleen Smith. As a result, it's not canon to the actual Mr. Men series.

Mr. Spendy was a jolly fellow who liked to spend his money, never saving for a rainy day, but his good green friend Mr. Thrifty and his family soon showed him the error of his wasteful ways and Mr. Spendy could go on holiday.

This book is the rarest out of all the books. The fact that the book is not written by Roger or Adam Hargreaves could explain why no other Mr. Men or Little Misses that are canon appear in this book. It also explains why he never appeared in any of the TV shows and is not part of the Mr. Men library. Mr. Spendy has five fingers, while the canon Mr. Men and Little Misses have only four. This is the only book to have £90 or £100. It is meant to be £0.01. This is the only Mr. Men book not created by Roger Hargreaves, aside from the post-1990s books.

Mr. Strong is the 26th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.

Mr. Strong is a Mr. Man who is so strong from eating many eggs, enough that he can break things until he finds a farmer whose cornfield is on fire. Mr. Strong is so strong he picks up the farmer's barn and fills it with water, and pours the water onto the cornfield, extinguishing it. Mr. Strong is rewarded with eggs from the chickens on the farm.

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Strong's shape changed from a square to a upside down triangle, however, he kept his red colour. He also wears a weight belt with a yellow buckle instead of his hat. He often says "Yo" at the beginning of his sentences and his catchphrases are "Aw, pickles!" when something goes wrong and occasionally "Good thing I came along". Mr. Strong speaks with a New York accent. In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by Phil Lollar and Simon Greenall.

Mr. Strong appears under the titles Monsieur Costaud (French), Don Forzudo (Spanish), Unser Herr Stark (German), Meneertje Sterk (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Δυνατός (Greek), 強壯先生 (Taiwan), 힘세씨 (Korean), Fætter Stærk (Danish), Gubben Stark (Swedish), and Senhor Forte (Portuguese).

Mr. Stubborn is a new Mr. Men created for The Mr. Men Show. He is purple and resembles Mr. Grumble, with a triangular yellow nose, a black outline, and two hairs. He often assumes others are wrong, even when it is obvious that he is wrong. If possible, he misuses items and after they break, he thinks that they are cheap (e.g. "This tent is cheap!!!" or "This door is cheap!!!"). Little Miss Stubborn is his book counterpart. In the French version, he is called Monsieur Têtu and, in the Portuguese version, he is called Senhor Teimoso. He is voiced by Godfrey (credited as Godfrey Danchimah) (US) and Lewis MacLeod (UK).

Mr. Tall is the 31st book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Tall is quite the tallest Mr. Man you've met, and he hates his long and oversized legs (his problem). First, he meets Mr. Small, who was standing under a daisy, and they go for a walk together, Later, Mr. Small goes for a swim, and Mr. Tall can't, because by the time it gets deep enough for him to swim, he will be out to the other side, so he just sits. However (and much later), Mr. Tall meets three other Mr. Men (Mr. Tickle, Mr. Greedy, and Mr. Nosey) who teach him that oversized body parts can be helpful. Mr. Tall then decides his oversized legs are great for walking, and while Mr. Tall made it home quickly due to his walking, Mr. Small took a year to get home. He is now happy.

He appeared in the second season of The Mr. Men Show, voiced by Keith Wickham (UK) and Godfrey (credited as Godfrey Danchimah) (US). However, his only speaking appearance was in the episode 'Travel'. Like Little Miss Curious, he mostly acted as a background character. Aside from keeping his looks from the books, he has a crooked brown hat at the top, that has a yellow band around it. He has got a deep voice similar to that of a soul singer. Mr. Tall speaks with a Texan accent, which is deeper than Mr. Strong's, and a Polish accent.

Mr. Tall appears under the titles Monsieur Grand (French), Don Alto (Spanish), Unser Herr Riesig (German), Meneertje Lang (Dutch), Fætter Høj (Danish), Ο Κύριος Ψηλός (Greek), Pan Tyka (Polish), 長腿先生 (Taiwan), 키다리씨 (Korean), Herra Hár (Icelandic), and Senhor Alto (Portuguese).

Mr. Tall is also a relative of Little Miss Somersault.

Mr. Tickle is the 1st book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.

The character of Mr. Tickle was created when Roger's 8-year-old son, Adam, asked, "What does a tickle look like?" (one of his most impossible questions, as said in the show 50 Years of Mr. Men). Like all Mr. Men, Mr. Tickle has a simplistic look. He is orange with long arms and a small blue hat.

In 2001, for the 30th anniversary of the Mr. Men, Mr. Tickle's book was released as a collector's edition hardback. It included a foreword from Adam Hargreaves.

Mr. Tickle's story begins with him in bed and making himself breakfast without getting up due to the length of his ‘extraordinarily long arms’. He then decides that it is a tickling sort of day and so goes around town tickling people – a teacher, a policeman, a greengrocer, a station guard, a doctor, a butcher, and a postman. The book ends with a warning that Mr. Tickle could be lurking around your doorway, waiting to tickle you.

Mr. Tickle appears under the titles Monsieur Chatouille (French), Don Cosquillas (Spanish), Mr. Goglais (Welsh), Unser Herr Killekille (German), Meneertje Kietel (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Γαργαλίτσας (Greek), 搔癢先生 (Taiwan), 간지럼씨 (Korean), Fætter Kilderik (Danish), Gubben Killekill (Swedish), מר דגדוג (Hebrew), Mr. Csiki (Hungarian), Senhor Cócegas (Portuguese), and Il Signor Solletico (Italian).

In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Tickle remains relatively the same in looks, though his hat has an aqua stripe and his arms are normally sized but can stretch out when needed. He is a resident of the ‘Dillydale’ city. However, he tickles other Mr. Men and Little Misses: this is due to the obvious absence of humans in Dillydale. As far as character traits go, he is still determined to tickle everyone he interacts with, but instead of doing it for mischief, he does it to make people happy and will stop when nobody wants him to tickle them, save for when the opportunity knocks with Mr. Grumpy, who appears to be his favourite target. He also owns a robot shop. His catchphrase is "I think somebody needs a tickle!". In the US and UK versions, he is voiced by storyboard artist, Jeff Stewart (not to be confused with the Scottish actor of the same name) and Rob Rackstraw.

Mr. Tickle is also featured in some of the other books, such as Little Miss Magic. In her story, she reduces his arms to normal length so he can no longer be annoying and tickle anyone. She eventually gives him his arms back when he begs for forgiveness and promises to reduce his actions to one tickle a day. However, he gets his revenge as soon as he is out of the room with his long arms and uses his one tickle for the day on her.

Mr. Topsy-Turvy is the 9th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Topsy-Turvy does everything the wrong way. One day he comes to the town where the reader lives. He rents a room in a hotel, speaking to the hotel manager the wrong way, "Afternoon good, I'd room a like." The next day, he confuses the taxi driver with his backwards speaking, causing an accident, buying a pair of socks and putting them on his hands, then he disappears, but everything is still topsy-turvy. Everybody still speaks topsy-turvy, and the reader is asked to say something topsy-turvy.

Mr. Topsy-Turvy originated from a competition run by Roger Hargreaves to find a new Mr Men character and was an idea by Marc Penfold who created Mr. Upside Down and a story in which the character lived in a backwards world. The idea did not win the competition but Roger Hargreaves liked the idea so much he wrote to Marc Penfold saying he would use the idea and thus Mr. Topsy-Turvy was born.

Mr. Topsy-Turvy appears under the titles Monsieur A L'Envers (French), Don Alreves (Spanish), Unser Herr Kuddelmuddel (German), 顛倒先生 (Taiwan), 거꿀씨 (Korean), Mr. Popeth-o-Chwith (Welsh), Meneertje Opsekop/Meneertje Andersom (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Ανάποδος (Greek), Fætter Omvendt (Danish), Il Signor Sottosopra (Italian).

Mr. Uppity is the 11th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Uppity lives in Bigtown and he is very rich. He is rude to everybody (who call him Miserable old Uppity) until one day he meets a goblin. When he is rude to the goblin, the goblin shrinks Mr. Uppity so he can fit into a hole in a tree, and they enter the tree to meet the King of the Goblins. The goblin agrees to shrink Mr. Uppity if he is rude to somebody. This happens until Mr. Uppity is nice. In the end, he's still rich, but now he's very popular. He most frequently uses the words, "Please" and "Thank you." At the end of the book, Hargreaves tells the readers: "Thank you for reading this story, and if you're ever thinking about being rude to somebody, please keep a sharp lookout for goblins."

Mr. Uppity appears under the titles Monsieur Malpoli (French), Don Señorito (Spanish), Mr. Ffroenuchel (Welsh), Unser Herr Hochnase (German), 傲慢先生 (Taiwan), 거만씨 (Korean), Ο Κύριος Ακατάδεχτος (Greek), Meneertje Onbeleefd (Dutch), Senhor Malcriado (Portuguese), Fætter Storsnude (Danish).

Mr. Walk

Mr. Walk is one of four characters created for the "A Walk in Fashion" collab created by Michael Lau. Mr. Walk is the face character of the Fashion Walk campaign alongside Little Miss Fashion, forming "Fashion Walk" together.

Michael Lau's other creations are his brand character Mr. GUMGUMGUM and his self-insert Mr. ML.

Mr. Walk has a loud semi-asymmetrical design with mix-match attire. His round-corner brick body is shaped like the letter "F" for Fashion. His left side can be interpreted in two different ways: he just happens to have a strangely shaped left cheek for that asymmetrical look, and as his mouth ends on the corner of his face, it might be a "Cheated Angle" in which his left side shows a protruding nose and chin.

Mr. Walk's main body colour is a shade of blue, his right side has stripes (purple on the body, orange on the arm), and his left side has polka dots (orange on the body, purple on the arm). His hat covers his entire scalp (similar to Mr. Muddle) and is half a brown Buffalo hat and red cap with a singular turquoise zigzag pattern. He wears two different shoes: his right leg has a green oxford shoe and his left leg has a white sports shoe, with a pulled-up pink sock.

On his left arm, Mr. Walk wears a glimmering golden watch. Michael Lau gave him this likely due to his beliefs in how Fashion Trends work in Hong Kong, as well as the whole Hong Kong mindset.
