[edit] Story
Mr. Small lives under a daisy in Mr. Robinson's garden. He eats very enormous meals, and talks to Walter the Worm about getting a job. He meets Mr. Robinson who tries to get him a job. They try putting ketchup in mustard jars, which is not good. They try putting matches into matchboxes, no good either. The best job for somebody so small is writing children's books, and Mr. Small meets a friend of Mr. Robinson who writes children's books(referring to Roger Hargreaves), and writes a book all about himself. This Mr. Men book breaks the fourth wall.
In the 2008 The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Small is considerably larger and is an orange color. He also wears a tall black top hat (similar to Abraham Lincoln's) instead of a blue bowler, and wears a pair of white sneakers. He has a Welsh-type accent in the US and a typically British accent in the UK. His favorite food is liverwurst sandwiches. He also is able to speak in French and Spanish. His best friend is Mr. Nosey, and they live together in a observatory with a large telescope coming out from the roof.
