Mr. Men Go Camping

Resumen del libro

There's nothing Mr Strong enjoys more than a camping trip: fresh air, exercise, camp fires and good company. But when a very grumbly Mr Grumble, a terrified Mr Jelly and a very demanding Little Miss Splendid join the party, he might just have to change his mind! The great outdoors comes to life Mr Men style in this funny, colourful story for adventurous girls and boys. Perfect for the holidays! The Mr Men and Little Miss Every Day series takes Roger Hargreaves' beloved characters on trips and activities that children will recognise from their own lives.

All the Every Day Adventures have a 'Where's Walter' feature with Walter the worm hiding in every story making for a fun and interactive reading experience for children aged two years and up. Have you collected all the Every Day Adventures? Mr. Men at the Park; Mr.

Men on Holiday; Mr. Men go Swimming; Mr. Men Ballet Show; Mr.

Men Rainy Day; Mr. Men on the Farm; Mr. Men making Music; and, Mr.

Men go Camping. 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. Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr Men, was born. Mr Tickle was soon joined by Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump.

The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr Silly.
