Customer Reviews

Not my favorite Little Critter, but not bad

We have a lot of Little Critter books, and why not? They're short, they're funny, they're topical, and they're cheap. This one isn't my favorite. Little Critter talks about all the small things he'll do when he's bigger, like buying all the candy he wants. And then he finishes with a quick tag onto bedtime - he HAS to go to bed, because he's Not Bigger Yet. It's not a bad book, it's just not that interesting to my nieces.

Love these books

I have never found a Mercer Mayer book that I didn't like. They are cute, funny, have great pictures, and a nice message. Oh, and the kids enjoy them too!

Great book

I found this to be an example of reinforcement for our 5 grandsons. As parents work toward age appropriate tasks for their children this book makes it fun.

I'm a big girl now

I liked this book because it made me think about what I get and have to do when I'm older. Of course they are different than crossing the street alone and going to the store by myself. This should be good for kids because they get to see what they can look forward to when they become older. This book is short, simple and to the point, just like I like them!

A Great Book to Let Little Kids Know What's In Stored

I really enjoyed reading this book to my daughter. We've had this book since she was almost 3. It talks about all the fun things Little Critter can do when he gets bigger, like crossing the street alone, telling time, camping out, etc. My daughter enjoys knowing that she will get to do all these things when she's truly a "big girl." The ending is a twist because he says he's going to bed now because he's not bigger yet.
