Little Critter
Mercer Mayer · 2007
82/100
👍 Worth It
Seven classic Little Critter stories in one volume is a genuine bargain for families who don't already own them. Mercer Mayer's gentle humor and deeply relatable scenarios have proven their staying power across fifty years of readers, and this collection does exactly what a good anthology should — it delivers a lot of familiar warmth in one sturdy package. Best enjoyed a story or two at a sitting with a toddler on your lap.
