Mr. Crosspatch's new cover

Mr. Crosspatch/Monsieur Bagarreur is a violent and aggressive sociopath. He always wants to get into a fight with anyone or anything. Mr. Crosspatch is as strong as Mr. Strong, but is less friendly. His house is falling apart because he runs into it like a bull.

On a walk, he talks to four daisies about his unimportant urge to fight. Later, he runs into a chestnut-selling worm. The worm asks him what chestnuts he would like, but Mr. Crosspatch says to the worm: 'One more word out of you, and I'll twist your neck'. He nearly fights with the worm, only to find that it already went back into its hole.

Later on, he meets Mr. Strong carrying a basket of eggs. Mr. Crosspatch tries to be nice and asks Mr. Strong if he needs help carrying the basket, but Mr. Strong replies with: 'That's very kind of you, but I am afraid which you are not enough'. This makes Mr. Crosspatch angry, and he charges at Mr. Strong, only to get terribly hurt. Little Miss Careful tries to pick him up, but Mr. Crosspatch refuses.

The book tricks the reader into thinking that Mr. Crosspatch is going to charge at Little Miss Careful, but Mr. Crosspatch charges at the tree because of the fact that men don't hurt women. Wilfred the Wizard falls out of the tree and gave Mr. Crosspatch some advice. Not too long later, Mr. Dizzy comes with a green ball, but being the dizzy fellow he is, he thinks that it is blue. Mr. Crosspatch and Mr. Dizzy argue about what colour the ball is. Mr. Crosspatch remembers Wilfred Wizard's advice, so he stands in front of the ball, takes the advice and gives the ball a very hard kick.

Trivia

  • Moral: Violence is never the answer.
  • He is the only French Mr. Men to cameo in Mr. Men and Little Miss with his correct colours.
  • Despite no books featuring Mr. Crosspatch having been officially released in English, both the English Style Guide for the Mr. Men brand, an issue of โ€œThe Mr. Men Clubโ€ and a series of Mr. Men and Little Miss Learning Cards from 1997, he is officially named "Mr. Crosspatch".
  • Mr. Crosspatch was never published in English. The likeliest reason why his book was never released was because his violent and destructive behavior may have been seen as emulatable by the target demographic of children.
  • A more literal translation of Mr. Crosspatch's name would be "Mr. Brawler", though the official translation deviates from the French original. Similar cases exist for Little Miss Prim and Little Miss Carefree.
