Win A Copy of Mr. Topsy-Turvy From the Mr. Men Collection!

Mr. Topsy-Turvy does everything the wrong way around. One day he comes to the town where the reader lives.

He rents a room in a hotel, speaking to the hotel manager the wrong way around, “Afternoon good, I’d room a like.” The next day, he confuses the taxi driver with his backwards speaking, causing an accident, buying a pair of socks and putting them on his hands, then he disappears, but everything is still topsy-turvy. Everybody still speaks topsy-turvy, and the reader is asked to say something topsy-turvy.

Like Wow have a copy of this wonderful book to give away!

Mr. Topsy-Turvy originated from a competition run by Roger Hargreaves to find a new Mr. Men character and was an idea by Marc Penfold who created Mr. Upside Down and a story in which the character lived in a backwards world.

Although the idea did not win the competition, Roger Hargreaves liked the idea so much he wrote to Marc Penfold saying he would use the idea.
