Mr. Tickle is the first book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves which was published on 10 August 1971.[1]

The character of the story was originally based on a question by his son Adam Hargreaves, who asked him what a tickle would look like; the claim of which is currently being disputed.[1] Adam Hargreaves said that it was one of his most impossible questions as said in the TV special 50 Years of Mr. Men.

Mr. Tickle is an orange Mr. Man who has long, bendy arms and a small, blue hat.
