The Mr Men characters are taken from a cartoon strip in a National daily, and every child who is introduced to them adores them, at least the children I know do.

There are two tapes with a separate program on each. One program is Mr Noisy's word game, and the other is Read with Mr Bounce. A notice on the package states "for ages 5 to 8 years", a likely story.

If the parents do decide to let the children play there is a booklet for their guidance, the parents that is. To help little fingers find the correct keys there is a plastic overlay strip.

After trying the Mr Bounce game for about an hour 1 decided to invite a lady friend round to try it. It took me nearly two hours to wrest the keyboard from her, she is a very determined five year old.

Her verdict is: funny, luverly, nice, etc. My verdict is: good value for money if you have children, a bit pricey if you don't. Oh, and you need a Spectrum of course.
