A classic tale with added sparkle, Mr. Men style! It's perhaps not so surprising to hear that one day Mr. Greedy was feeling hungry. And also not particularly surprising to hear that he made himself a giant gingerbread man. But the surprises really start when the gingerbread man jumps out of the oven and Mr. Greedy and many other favourite Mr. Men characters give chase - with hilarious results. A deliciously funny story!
In 1971 while working as the creative director at a London firm, he wrote the first Mr. Men book, Mr. Tickle. Initially he had difficulty finding a publisher, but once he did the books became an instant success, selling over one million copies within three years. In 1974 the books spawned a BBC animated television series, narrated by Arthur Lowe. A second series the following year saw newer titles transmitted in double bill format with those from the first series.<br><br>By 1976, Hargreaves had quit his day job. In 1981 the Little Miss series of books was launched, and in 1983 it also was made into a television series, narrated by Pauline Collins, and her husband John Alderton.
