Mr. Men is partly about the pictures. Obviously here, with a CD, you don’t get those. You do get the stories though. The six stories on this disc are:
- Mr Messy (07’31)
- Mr Snow (06’43)
- Mr Daydream (06’47)
- Mr Bounce (07’17)
- Mr Mean (06’49)
- Mr Chatterbox (06’39)
These are the audio of what was on the original Mr Men TV series. They are complete with Arthur Lowe’s narration, the classic Mr Men theme tune plus various sound effects, which perhaps sound a little dated now, for example Mr. Bounce’s Bounce, but are for illustrative purposes anyway and kids’ imaginations will be able to decipher them.
I was surprised by the audio quality which was really good compared with the audio quality I have heard of the Mr Men TV series on YouTube. It has been remastered especially for the CD.
The sleeve of the CD is designed to be a straight copy of the sleeve of the LP record that was released in 1980. There are three questions written here for each story so that you can ask your child about them when they have finished listened to them.
For me my 6-year-old and 2-year-old will be listening to this at bedtimes.
Kudos to the BBC for milking this series for all it is worth.
(I got this CD through Amazon Vine UK. It is listed HERE.)
