Classic and Cute Little Critter Story

"Just Grandpa and Me" is a classic "Little Critter" story about Little Critter spending a day with his Grandpa. They travel on a train, buy a suit, go to the movies and more. This book has simple and fun humor in Little Critter's cute retelling of the story. For example, he says he held Grandpa's hand so he wouldn't get lost, but he did. Luckily, he found him right away. The illustrations have lots of fun detail and perfectly match the story for visual interest. A fun little story that anyone can find the humor in and enjoy.

Just Grandpa and Me

This book like all little critter books was fun to read. It was about a grandpa taking his grandson to go get a new suit. They ride on the train, go through revolving doors, get lost from one anouther and go up and escalator. Then they find the right one he trys it on a perfect fit he says. After they go to a Chinese food place and eat with chopsticks. Then they go see a scary movie. They ride the train back and shows his mom the new suit but it is really dirty from all the fun they had. This is a great book for your children to read to there parents. Almost all kids and read it and will enjoy it. This book is written by Mercer Mayer i suggest you read all the books wrote by him.

My thoughts on the book

I enjoyed reading the book Just Grandpa and Me. The story is about Little Critter and his grandpa who go shopping together for a new suit. Throughout their expedition, Little Critter shows his grandpa how to go up and down escalators, and even taught him how to use chopsticks at lunch. The illustations were my favorite part of the book. I have noticed that in each Little Critter book a spider and a grasshopper appear on almost each page. I thought that the book was geared to teach the child reader about self-confidence. Little Critter shows his confidence by helping his grandpa throughout their day. I loved the book and plan on reading more by Mercer Mayer!

What I Think About It

I think the book "Just Grandpa and Me," is a really cute book. I think it shows to little kids that you should be close to all your family. I think all of the little critter books are so cute, and are probably my favorite book. I think it tells little kids to be nice to everyone. The thing I like most about these books is that everyone of them have the little spider and the grasshopper. I also think that the pictures are well done too.
