Mr. Clever is the thirty-seventh book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.

StoryEdit

Mr. Clever is the self-acclaimed Cleverest Person In The World! Not only that, but he has some fantastic gadgets, such as his alarm clock that makes tea; and his toothbrush that squeezes out the toothpaste for him. How clever!

But Mr. Clever is also very smug. He believes that no one can get the better of him, because of his superior intelligence. But of course, many do. Mr. Happy asks Mr. Clever to tell him the funniest joke, but Mr. Clever didn't know any jokes, Mr. Greedy asked for the recipe to the yummiest dish, but Mr. Clever didn't know any recipes, nor he could cook (as a machine of his cooks for him in cleverland), Mr. Forgetful wanted to know his name, but Mr. Clever didn't know yet because they just met.

Mr. Clever was having a dumb day, he couldn't tell Mr. Sneeze the cure for a cold, Mr. Small how to get bigger, Mr. Jelly the secret to being brave, or Mr. Topsy-Turvy how to speak the 'round way right- I mean the right way 'round. Mr. Clever felt dumb, so he decided to go home, two worms see him, but one said he was going the wrong way.

TriviaEdit

In the 1997 redub of the 1995 cartoon, his voice sounded similar to Clyde Crashcup from "The Alvin Show".
He may have a crush on Little Miss Star or Little Miss Brainy.
He is one of the few characters to have ears, the other is Mr. Mean.
He seems to have the most conflicts with Mr. Nervous, in his own book, Mr. Nervous said that Mr. Clever wasn't clever because he didn't know the secret to being brave, and in Mr. Clever's Daft Bet, Mr. Jelly helped Miss Fun plot against Mr. Clever.
