Silly sneezy adventure introducing us to Mr Sneeze. Love the illustrations especially The Sun and Atichoo!

Re-read
This is the favourite Mr. Men book of the youngest member of the household. Does it meet my lofty Mr. Men expectations??
My thoughts:
* This character is cute visually and in action;
* Wizards are responsible for global warming but they meant well;
* the challenge at the end to encourage re-reading was a nice touch.

And again we return to Mr Me and the mighty Mr Sneeze another great little read from Hargreaves, who extends his Mr World here with the land of Cold land. I wonder if any nerd has done a map of Mr Men world?
Anyway another fun read here as the quest continues.

Mr. Sneeze lives in a wonderful land of winter. He sneezes all the time. He meets a meddling wizard who wants to help Mr. Sneeze. Instead of moving Mr. Sneeze down to the warm areas, he destroy the winterlands and brings out the sun. He is some evil wizard. He destroy’s a whole habitat. It sounds like paradise to me.
The nephew loved reading this one. He gets so excited for a new Mr. Men book he hasn’t read yet. This one was good.

Ah, Mr Men and Little Miss, how wonderful you are!
These books made up so much of my childhood. No matter what I would go ahead and pick one up. I worked my way through them all a couple of times. Each one has a wonderful story for the child to engage with, each character being fun to read.
Everyone has a bias for their favourite character, yet every book is delightful.

Blame global warming on Mr. Sneeze. In his search for a sneeze free life, Mr. Sneeze heads south for warmer climes and ends up brining the warm weather back north with him to Coldland.
Mr. Sneeze is the first of the Mr. Men books I've read that is in a specific country other than being presumably in miniature villages somewhere in Britain. In this case, the country is named and the way it is described it must be up in the arctic circle like Greenland. With the literal approach to story telling in the Mr. Men books, it would be out of place to set Mr. Sneeze in an icy country ironically named Greenland. Therefore he lives in Coldland.
The artwork for the snowbound sunless city of Shivertown and the snowy hills on the outskirts are a nice change from the usual Hargreaves's garish colors. Unfortunately the story doesn't end with Mr. Sneeze either finding a comfortable place to live south of his home or learning to live with the cold (like putting on warmer clothing). Instead it goes for the "just change the environment" solution without any thought of the consequences. The story ends before there's time for any negative repercussions (flooding in Wobbletown perhaps?) and thus falls flat.
