Story[]
Mr. Chatterbox is a person who can't stop talking. He will talk on and on, even to himself. He talks leaving the postman late delivering all his post, and causing Mr. Bowler, the hatter, to come home late to cold dinner. Mr. Bowler sells Mr. Chatterbox a magic hat that will grow if Mr. Chatterbox talks too much. It grows until the bottom reaches Mr. Chatterbox's feet. Now Mr. Chatterbox talks less.

Trivia[]
- In earlier prints, Mr. Chatterbox was incorrectly shown to have a blue hat on the back cover with the other Mr. Men characters.
- In the Icelandic dub of the 1970's TV Show, his sped up rambling is edited out.
Mr. Men and Little Miss Trivia[]
- Mr. Chatterbox claims that wearing a green hat is one of his hereditary traits. He says that his father wore a green hat, his grandfather wore a green hat, and his great-grandfather wore a green hat.
- He broadcasts a talk show called Chatterbox Radio on 95.7 FM.
- In the American dub, he has a raspier sounding voice in comparison to the UK version, almost similar to Popeye the Sailor.
