Mr Men and Little Miss<\/strong> are the beloved characters in a series of books created by the British author Roger Hargreaves<\/strong> and also a few created by Adam Hargreaves. They were published in the 1970s! Much to everyone’s delight, they were an incredible success, even worldwide and loved by all kids (me included! I actually have both collections). If your kids aren’t aware of these incredible children’s books, it’s about time to introduce them to the Little Miss<\/strong> and Mr Men characters<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div>
