Mercer Mayer’s Critter
If there is a collection of books that I have grown to love it is the lovable Just a Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer. I never thought I would smile and laugh at the antics of an adorable little… umm, hedgehog? We have almost every book in the collection, mostly thanks to garage sale finds and the thrift shop’s book section.
The series is made for young children and covers almost every thing that a child could go through. Going to the dentist, camping with dad, new toys breaking, and a bully at school. Plus many, many more. And all of the books are told from Critter’s point of view, which makes them more realistic in a child’s sense. You can see the titles of the entire collection here at the Little Critter site. Along with games, videos, and more.

This was actually one of our favorite series until my son outgrew them. I’ve kept all of our old ones, though, and sometimes we still pull them out and read them.
Now, though, his very favorite is the Captain Underpants series. When you’re 7 years old, there’s nothing quite so funny as underwear and fart jokes.

I’ve always enjoyed the Little Critter series. My daughter’s also like the Berenstain Bears.

Those little critters still crack me up. We had fun finding the spider hiding on each page.
As far as underwear and farts…my husband and older boys still seem amused.
