Andy Warhol, the ground-breaking pop artist. Little Andy was the
tiniest and palest child of the Warholas, a humble couple from

The bestselling children's books series for over 50 years! Drum
roll please... the new Mr Men chosen by the public is Mr Calm! It's
time to meet Mr Calm, who is quite possibly the calmest person in
the world. He appreciates the simple pleasures in life and nothing
can upset or disturb him, which means he's a calm head in a crisis.
But unfortunately not all his friends approach life in the same
way. Can Mr Calm help them to change their ways? Fifty years after
Mr Tickle, the very first Mr Men book was published, the public
voted for the next two new characters from Little Miss Brave, Mr
Calm, Little Miss Energy, Mr Brilliant and Little Miss Kind. A
rather relaxed Mr Calm stayed true to his name and was calmly
selected alongside Little Miss Brave, as one of the two most
popular characters. The Mr Men and Little Miss have been delighting
children for generations with their charming and funny antics. Bold
illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the
perfect story time experience for children aged two up. Have you
met them all?

like the truth.'
