Mr. Happy is the third book in the Mr Men series by Roger Hargreaves.
The character of Mr. Happy is perhaps the most simple looking, being merely a bright yellow circle with a wide smile, similar to the iconic smiley face. He is numbered as 3, although was originally placed 10th.[citation needed] He is from Happyland.

[edit] Story
Mr Happy has quite a simplistic story, as do most of the other characters. It involved him discovering Mr. Miserable (who looks exactly likes him) and helping him become happy. Mr Miserable becomes very happy at the end of the story. Roger tells the reader to turn the sides up of your mouth at the end.
Mr. Happy in the 2008 version of The Mr. Men Show looks exactly as he did in the books. He co-hosts a morning show called "Good Morning Dillydale" with Little Miss Sunshine. His catchphrase: "Wonderful!" He also has a deepish voice, sounding like a stereotyped game show host.
