What is Mr. Uppity about?
Mr Uppity is the richest and rudest man in Bigtown, treating everyone with disdain. One day, he encounters a goblin who, fed up with Mr Uppity's behaviour, shrinks him down to size. To regain his normal stature, Mr Uppity must learn to be polite and kind. This delightful tale teaches children the importance of good manners and humility, all wrapped up in the charming world of the Mr Men series.
