About the Author
Roger Hargreaves (1935-1988) was a British author and illustrator best known for creating the Mr. Men and Little Miss series, which he began in 1971 with Mr. Tickle. Working as an advertising copywriter before turning to children's books, Hargreaves developed a simple, colorful style built around round, expressive characters that became a worldwide phenomenon. He wrote and illustrated dozens of Mr. Men and Little Miss titles before his death in 1988, after which his son Adam Hargreaves continued the series. Roger Hargreaves' books have been translated into many languages and remain a cherished introduction to reading for young children.
