Little Critters series

We have been reading the Little Critters series by Mercer Mayer.  Upon consulting Google, I learned that Mercer Mayer is an American child writer and illustrator.  Little Critter is good for emerging reader, (so appeals a lot to Abel).  It also appeals to Noel when he was younger and still is  on days when he just wants to do light reading plus the illustration is usually funny or story lines are funny.

The book is usually not very thick and in a 15cm x 20cm size. So, they are perfect for little hands.
The story line is usually quite funny and practical too. Like Critter goes shopping with Mum and his sister and baby sister in the supermarket.
Little sister wants to sit in trolley, she wants to have lollies and other things, and mother Critter said No. (It's very realistic isn't it?) There is a page where Mother needs paper towel and  Sister wants pulls it from bottom of the pile and all the other paper towel fell off the display resulting in a not so pleased store manager. Finally everyone left with an ice cream. 



Just Shopping with Mom
Note: We are not told what sort of animal the critters are.
