Story

Mr. Bounce in the Mr. Men books

Mr. Bounce's first front cover.

Mr. Bounce was very small and like a rubber ball; he couldn't keep himself on the ground. One day, he has enough with the bouncing, and visits Dr. Makeyouwell to receive a pair of heavy boots. Now, he doesn't bounce as much anymore.

The Mr. Men Show

Mr. Bounce in the Mr. Men Show

For his appearance in the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Bounce's design is relatively similar to his original appearance, but with few minor changes. He is much larger than before and his hat now has a light pink stripe. Unlike before, Mr. Bounce only starts to bounce when he it hit by something. Additionally, he seems to enjoy his reckless bouncing.
