Mr. Tickle is the very first Mr. Men book, introducing the hilarious character who has impossibly long, stretchy arms and an insatiable desire to tickle everyone he meets. The story begins by explaining Mr. Tickle's unique ability and then follows him on a mischievous rampage through town, tickling a policeman, a doctor, and even a teacher. The book is a joyous celebration of silliness and physical humor, making it an excellent read-aloud choice. Roger Hargreaves' simple, bold illustrations and repetitive text perfectly capture the fun and infectious laughter that Mr. Tickle brings, establishing the formula for the beloved series.
