My dad created Mr Men and Little Miss
'What does a tickle look like?' That was the question eight-year-old Adam asked his dad, Roger Hargreaves, over breakfast.鈦

Inspired, Roger got out his marker pens and created an orange character with a round body, long stretchy arms and a blue bowler hat.... sound familiar?鈦
鈦
That character would become Mr Tickle, one of the first Mr Men books published in 1971.鈦
鈦
Adam Hargreaves tells Megan Jones how his father got to work giving Mr Tickle some friends, creating a series of children's books that's became a worldwide success. 鈦
The world of the Mr Men and Little Misses is still expanding and today there's a new character to introduce you to - Little Miss History, which Adam drew especially for us!鈦
