I’d not heard of Mr Men before so I was very curious to check this out. The humor was different than many of the kids shows on today. I loved that the characters are named after their main personality trait.  How can you not giggle at characters with names like Mr Grumpy, Mr Lazy, Mr Messy, Mr Noisy, Mr Pernickety, Mr Quiet, Mr Rude, Little Miss Calamity, Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Whoops? The show features simple artwork in bright colors. The stories are like life’s daily journeys where characters with different personalities interact, occasionally encountering a bump in the road or even a road block. The bonus features were fun – my favorite was find that character while CJ seemed to enjoy the dance sequences more.
