Lottery checkers are good for those who are forgetful, especially for Mr. Forgetful from the Mr. Men series of children’s books. Commencing in 1971, Roger Hargreaves produced 49 Mr. Men books.

Mr. Forgetful was the fourteenth book released by Hargreaves in the Mr. Men series. The story revolves around a character who has a frightfully short memory. One day Mr. Forgetful spots loose sheep in the lane and immediately calls Farmer Fields. Sadly for Mr. Forgetful, he cannot remember the message for the life of him! Instead he relays the messages, “there is a goose asleep in the rain”.

Mr. Tickle was the first in the entire series of Mr. Men books. The story commences with Mr. Tickle in bed and making breakfast in the kitchen simultaneously as he bears such very long arms. Mr. Tickle then leaves the house and commences tickling everyone in sight including a greengrocer, a teacher, a postman, a policeman and many others!
