KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Delightful series. The characters are so relevant - each reminds you of someone you know. Bold colors and simple shapes make this an appealing show for the younger children. The episodes are cute with simple storylines. It's fun to watch with my child and tell them about the Mr. Men books I enjoyed when I was their age. The episodes are short and fun. Perfect for this age group.

KIDS FIRST!® KID Juror Comments:

Liked it. They enjoyed the humor. "It's pretty funny." "Sometimes the characters do things like paint each other by accident. They didn't say sorry, though." "The children were talking about the character's behaviors and identifying with times when they acted like those characters—in both good and bad ways."
