Mercer Mayer has published over 300 children’s books, which he not only writes but illustrates as well. He is best known for the Little Critter books that he writes and illustrates, and these are books that I absolutely loved as a child! They are so much fun! On his website I read that most of the books he writes are about things that happened to him whenever he was a kid, and also about things that happen to his children now that he is grown up. The little critter books are about a family of critters, there are Little Critter, his mom and dad and little sister and little brother. My personal favorite book of the series is Merry Christmas Mom and Dad. In this book, Little Critter gets ready for Christmas and is very excited about being a good helper. He tries to do all sorts of things like help wrap the presents, buy presents for his parents, and hang up Christmas lights. But even though he means well, he ends up getting overwhelmed and tangled up in everything. It’s a very funny book, and great for around Christmas time.
The Mercer Mayer website that I liked the best is http://www.littlecritter.com. Here there are interactive games, an art gallery, coloring pages, sing-a-longs, and interactive read and plays. Children will love this website!
