It’s been 50 years since Roger Hargreaves introduced Mr. Tickle to the world and to celebrate, Penguin Random House Australia are giving away THREE Mr. Men and Little Miss prize packs to lucky Connect readers!

The late Roger Hargreaves founded Mr. Men in 1971, when his then eight-year-old son, Adam Hargreaves, asked ‘What does a tickle look like?’

In response, Roger drew a figure with a round orange body and extraordinary long arms and Mr. Tickle was born. Mr. Tickle then went on to sell a million copies in just three years.

Now, 50 years later, you can enjoy a special upsized edition of the classic story with a bonus back-story about how it all began.

With a cast of over 90 characters, Mr. Men and Little Miss have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics. Bold illustrations and hilarious stories make any Mr. Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged over two years.

Born in 1935, Charles Roger Hargreaves followed a career in advertising before becoming an author and illustrator. He is Britain’s third best-selling author of all time having sold more than 100 million books, including all the familiar Mr. Men and Little Miss characters.
