This book simply makes me smile. You can't help but fall in love with Little Critter and his attempt to make Christmas a success. He tries to bake cookies, but he eats them himself. He tries his hardest to go right to sleep on Christmas Eve, but he is too excited. Thinking he is doing his parents a favor, Little Critter wakes up at 6 AM and brings his new toys upstairs instead of having his parents get out of bed. Mayer's illustrations and fun and colorful. One or two sentences of text are a perfect addition to the pictures. Children will not lose interest in this book because of the short text and appealing color. Mayer's choice to add a special critter (spider, grasshopper, etc.) on each page makes it fun to search for them with children. This is an excellent book to read to young children around the holidays. After reading it, you will want to buy more in the series.

I find this story very cute and funny, I think it is adorable how the little boy tries to do all good things for his parents and he just has the hardest time doing them. I think all children could relate to this story because when Christmas time comes around they want to do all they can because they know Santa is watching and they have to especially good. I would reccomend this book to all ages because I think they would find it cute just as I did.

This character I remember from my childhood I wanted my son to have this same book as I had when I was little. Fortunately he still likes to look through it and I still read it to him from time to time even as we are now in spring;)

I have fond memories of these from childhood and my son now loves them. They are his favorite, and this Christmas book is no different.

Gina & Mercer Mayer books are among our VERY favorite family books for the little ones (age 2-6).

We love Little Critter books around here. They're short, they're funny, they're topical, and they're cheap.

This one is just a sweet story about how Little Critter tries to make a special Christmas for his parents - naturally, following the formula of these books, he doesn't get it *quite* right. But that's okay :)

This is a very cute book about how a young critter is trying to help his parents do things but really just messes them up. The vritter is trying to do all kinds of christmas chores all by himself just to prove that he is a big boy. He even put the star on his cristmas tree all by HIMSELF, but his dad had him. This is a very good book and it will get you in the mood for christmas and put a smile on your face!

A great book, full of charming situations that remind you that sometimes good efforts do not always have the desired outcome. This fun book will surely become a Christmas and year round favorite. As a kindergarten teacher, I see it very perdictable for young readers. Enjoy!

This book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is a good book to teach little kids to try to do their best no matter what. He tries to help out, but he ends up making even more mess. This book is really cute! It is a book both girls and boys will enjoy.

This is a pretty cute book. This one doesn't have the questionable content that some of his other books in this series, so if you're concerned about that, you won't have to with this one. The critter is trying his best to do things to wish his mom and dad Merry Christmas, but things just seem to go wrong. He gets all wrapped up in the tape when wrapping a gift, tangled in the lights when trying to get them out, and breaking all the bulbs for the tree. It reminds you of a little booklet that a child would write for school on his Christmas at home. It's cute, and captures the heart of a child at Christmas when trying to give his parents that special gift. I recommend this Mayer book.
