Does anyone here like the Mr.Men book series? I'm a big fan of them, with a collection of over 150 items. I reckon they're cool, with all the different characters.

I used to have a rather large collection of these! Oddly, I used to like the underused and less popular characters like Mr Forgetful and Little Miss Quick.

I love Mr Men. Like Thomas and TUGS, it has played a huge part of my life. My fave was Mr Nonsence. The TV series was good.

There's some I can't remember on account of them being released some time later, like Little Miss Loud and ones like that. So please do.

Little Miss Loud. She's ONLY available in France and I have that one. Another Mr Man who's only available in France is Mr Crosspatch and if he was ever released in the U.K I would expect parents to complain.
Does anyone have the following titles? Could someone post a synopsis please?
Mr Cool Mr Rude Mr Good Little Miss Bad Little Miss Scary Little Miss Whoops.

Could someone post a synopsis please? Mr Cool Mr Rude Mr Good Little Miss Bad Little Miss Scary Little Miss Whoops. Hmm, interesting. Never knew that there were other Mr Men and Little Miss from Europe...anyway, as my Sister is a big Mr Men/Little Miss Fan (atic), I've got her nearly all the books from both collections, so here's the synposis for said characters: Mr CoolHe's a laid back character who takes an ill boy on some adventures that are really "cool"! Mr RudeAs his name suggests, he is despicable and arrogant. After causing some upsets, Mr Happy decides to stay with him for a week where he changes Mr Rude for the better. Mr GoodMr Good is a kind soul but he lives in a town where everything and everyone is horrid to him. He soon has a happier life when he takes a l-o-n-g walk and comes across a nicer town to live in. Little Miss BadLittle Miss Bad is devious and mischevious, always playing nasty tricks on everyone. However, Little Miss Sunshine puts a stop to her badness by tricking her into telling the entire town of her bad behaviour. Little Miss ScaryLittle Miss Scary lives in a spooky old castle and enjoys frightening everyone, espicially Poor Mr Jelly. Thanks to Mr Noisy's help, he soon gives Miss Scary a taste of her own medicine! Little Miss WhoopsUnsurprisingly, Miss Whoops is Mr Bump's sister! She decides to go visit him, but a string of strange events causes her some delay! And just so you know, WH Smith have also released some special Mr Men & Little Miss books as well: MR TICKLE AND THE DRAGON LITTLE MISS NAUGHTY AND THE GOOD FAIRY MR NOISY AND THE GIANT LITTLE MISS TROUBLE AND THE MERMAID LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE AND THE WICKED WITCH MR HAPPY AND THE SPELL BOOK MR BIRTHDAY (Upcoming) LITTLE MISS BIRTHDAY (Upcoming)

Does anyone have any pics of any Mr Men/Little Miss released in France? Sypnosises of their stories would be difficult to get, but it would be an added bonus.

I have all the french Mr Men books but my memory about them is a bit hazy so I'll tell you what I remember. When I do get time I'll type up each story by using a french translator online. There's a picture of them on that website which I have mentioned on this thread but it's very tempermental.
Synopsis
Little Miss Loud She goes to the seaside for the day. She has her radio on loud. Mr Quiet and Little Miss Shy don't like it. Mr Noisy comes along and accidently treads on her radio.
Little Miss Prim She's alot like Fergus. She likes to be "Prim and proper" she meets Mr Chaterbox and Little Miss Greedy and tells them off for her faults. She invites them to her house. Mr Chaterbox and Little Miss Greedy both wear plasters on their mouths so they don't step out of line but Miss Prim has lightened up and tells them to take it off. Mr Chatterbox and Little Miss Greedy eat biscuits with their falks but Miss Prim tells them they don't need to do that.
Little Miss Pretty She has lots of matching outfits. She arranges to meet Little Miss Sunshine but the night before, Little Miss Naughty comes into her house and spills ink on her handbag but all is not lost.
Little Miss Yes This Lille Miss doesn't know how to say no. She gets invited to Mr Greedy's picnic. She buys a huge cake. Mr Greedy and Little Miss Greedy both have a nap before eating it but when they wake up it's not there. After some confusion it turns out Little Miss Yes ate it.
Little Miss Careful She isn't careful at all. She has a day full of accidents. The day after that she's a wiser little Miss.
Little Miss Show-Off She likes to think she's the best at everything but a wizard takes forms of other Mr men and she makes a fool of herself.
Little Miss Busy-Body I can't remember that much about this one. She'a always annoying people. In the end people ignore her. Even her own budgie.
Little Miss All-Goes-Well (I can confirm that her real name is Little Miss carefree as I had a sticker of her once) She has a neigbour called Mr Careless who is the exact opposite of her. He spends a day at Little Miss Carefree's house. They both spends a day full of chaos.
Little Miss Brilliant She is an inventive character. She spends some time at Mr Clumsy's house. He breaks his teapot so Little Miss Brilliant takes Mr Clumsy back to her house to have tea but she has thrown her teapot out but she still has a Brilliant idea which is to give the tea a miss.
Mr. Crosspatch This Mr Man is always starting fights. He has a fight with mr Strong and looses. Wilfred the Wizard tells him to count to ten when he feels like fighting. He meets Mr Dizzy and they have an argument about what colour his ball is. He counts to ten and kicks the ball.
Mr. No He doesn't know how to say yes. He meets lots of other Mr Men and Little Miss who asks him questions but he always answers no. He gets invited to Little Miss Yes's house. He goes but when Little Miss Yes asks him to come in. he says no. She asks him to meet tomarrow but he says no. He'll meet right now.

Well, could you give a detailed physical description of him (colour, shape, if he has glasses, hair, shoes, etc) and I'll draw from interpretation

He's the same colour and same shape as her and he also wears glasses. Does anyone think that those two men in "Mr Lazy" look like Burke and Blair from TUGS?
