Does Mr. Happy have what it takes to make everyone around him happy?
I remember this one very well from when I was little. Loved it.

Another great book for kids!
Mr. Happy finds a doorway that leads to Mr. Miserable. Mr. Happy takes him back to Happyland and slowly but surely, Mr. Miserable can't seem to stay miserable.
This is a good book to read for a child who needs to turn that frown upside down!

This is probably my favourite Mr Men book - so far! My boyfriend is so Mr Happy and I’m so Mr Miserable! Until I read this of course, now I too have a big smile.

Re-read
We appear to have found a Mr. Men book with a useful ending! There is something to be said about socialising/change of scene/travelling to put you into a more positive mood. I know this is not the most helpful of advices for those with depression for example, but I'll happily give the story a free pass here because it's introducing basic self-care and care-for-others to kids.
I'm I thinking too hard about this series? You betcha.

Before a certain bloke told us not to worry but be happy and way before some other geezer told us to clap along in a song that seemed as endless as it was painful came Mr Happy the wonderful character in another winning book from Hargreaves and my fourth in the bundle of these books. Another great fun read to finish the day.

You might think that "where the sun shines hotter than here, and where the trees are a hundred feet tall" is a rainforest or something similar.
Nope, it is Happyland, get into it.
Everyone is happy and smiling. Sounds terrifying, is this utopia or dystopia? Also, Mr. Happy is kinda fatshamed, pretty often.
Oh no, he met his depressed twin, Mr. Miserable, who wants to be happy.
You can technically say, that cottagecore and living inutopia/dystopia Happyland helped Mr. Miserable get rid of his emotions and individuality and become the second Mr. Happy.
Meet the cousin of "humungous hungolomghnonoloughongous", big booming hearty huge giant enormous.
If you feel miserable, "just turn your mouth up at the corners".

A great story for kids. It actually made me tear up a bit. I loved the message of the book, a really important one for kids. Overall a great book.

Mr. Happy has enough happiness for Mr Miserable as well. One day exploring his world, he finds a little down with stairs down to a dreary basement with the most miserable person in the world. Mr. Happy invites him up to his house to be happy. What I like is that Mr. Happy is willing to let Mr. Miserable take his time and get better. It was gradual and Mr. Happy didn’t rush him in the story. Mr Miserable did become happy.
My nephew loved this story. Yeah. Great series.
