Validity
The character, Early Bird, first appears in Dr. First. To my knowledge, this was his first appearance in any Mr Men universe story. Toy Story Fan 09:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ooh, this is possibly an extremely interesting find! How knowledgeable are you when it comes to Mr. Men? The type of role the Early Bird gets in Dr. First means it could have feasibly appeared in any of the existing Mr. Men universe stories. It might be quite difficult to verify Dr. First as the first appearance given the amount of online information on the subject (just look at the Mr. Men Wiki's page on Doctor Who!).

- Dear god that page is just so... laughable. 11:02, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- I have access to every Little Miss book and a decent number of Mr Men books. I will check through what I can access when I have the time to and relay the information back here. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎ 07:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
