Which is your favourite Mr Men story? Kitty loves Mr Happy, Alfie’s favourite is Mr Silly and I confess to a soft spot for the travails of toffee-nosed Mr Uppity. Fab children’s clothing brand Tobias and the Bear were offered the chance to raid the Mr Men archives for illustrations and graphics to use on their collaborative collection and the results are brilliant. I’m not really a fan of ‘character’ clothing, but I like the repeated prints on leggings, sweats and bedding and I LOVE the use of Roger Hargreaves’ retro graphics, like Mr Sneeze’s Atishoo sweatshirt, £22, and the rainbow and cloud tee, £16. Fans of the books will love this range and there’s scope for a lot of new additions in the future – I would love to see the smiley suns and flowers on leggings.
