It is ok. [Posted on 2006-08-29]
The words are few, but the point is...it is hard to find something in such a huge mess.

The problems I have are the fact that he didn't put his toys away properly. He just shoved them in the cloest or under the bed. The isn't picking up a mess.

Kids love these. [Posted on 2007-12-02]
I go to the Bureau of Indian Affairs dormitory every weeknight and the little girls read to me to improve their reading skills. Little Critter books are their favorite books to read. They read them over and over again. Most of them have little lessons on behavior too. I love them.
I own almost every one and want to get the ones I don't have.

Excellent [Posted on 2007-12-18]
My son is 8 yrs old and loves this series of books. The reading is fairly easy and the stories short so it keeps his interest. We read them as bed time stories and they are perfect. We own several of this series and we like them all.

Really fun book! [Posted on 2008-02-19]
My family so enjoyed this book because we have one among us who has such a hard time keeping his room organized so it was funny for us all in a light hearted why.

We're fans of Little Critter at this house [Posted on 2008-07-21]
We pick them up cheap (well, cheaper than they already are) at the local used book store.

This book follows just the plot you'd expect - Little Critter loses his baseball glove and is told by his mother to clean his room. He does a dubious job at that and finally, just when he's almost forgotten why he started, he finds his glove!

Here's the thing. You can buy these books for $4 anywhere (or, if you get them used, probably under a buck). You could stock your child's library primarily with these. Don't expect great literature, but they're good standbys, short for bedtime and "just one story" times.

The one really attractive feature they have is that they are a great example of the unreliable narrator. Whatever Little Critter *says* he's doing, you can be sure the picture shows just the opposite. This is a good narrative convention, and it's never too early to have your kid learn about it through blatant demonstration.

And kids like them. Little-little ones can sit through them, and older-little ones, just learning to read, still find them interesting enough to sit down for.
