Little Miss Inventor and the Robots (Mr. Men and Little Miss Picture Books) Adam Hargreaves 9781405296595 [USED COPY]

Inspiration is all around us as Little Miss Inventor proves with her Mr Men and Little Miss style robots!

Little Miss Inventor can invent the most extraordinary things like the HelpBot, which is a robot designed to help with different jobs around the house. But in no time, she's created a whole array of Mr Men and Little Miss inspired robots like the StrongBot and the NeatBot and the ChatterBot and the RushBot. Will the BossyBot be a step too far?

The Mr Men and Little Miss picture books are a larger format, so that you can enjoy their inimitable stories in even greater scale. Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged two and up.

It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. The idea that a tickle could be a character in its own right sparked an idea in Roger's mind. The book was an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh. Mr Silly was his favourite Mr Men story and, according to his family, encapsulates his humour most closely. Sadly Roger passed away in 1988, but his son Adam took over the series, introducing new characters and exciting new adventures. Roger once said, 'I feel very happy to think that when the Mr Men and Little Misses are 100 years old, their readers will always be five.'
