MERCER MAYER began writing and illustrating children’s books in 1966, and since that time, he has published over 300 titles. Open almost any of the award-winning author/illustrator’s books, and out may pop dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters.

“Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid,” says Mercer. “Now that I’m a big kid, I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always help remind me of what it was like.”

Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mercer Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps near his home. During his teenage years, he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies, he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate a collection of children’s books, reflecting many of the adventures he experienced as a child.

In 2007, Mr. Mayer was commissioned by Laura Bush to create the artwork used for the National Book Festival held on September 29 on the National Mall. He was an honored guest to the event, giving a demonstration and autographing hundreds of books for fans who attended.

Big fan of Little Critter!
We are big fans of Little Critter and this Thanksgiving book was a hit with my 3 year old daughter, especially because there were stickers too! The stickers were great, all the stickers were from scenes in the book. A very cute story with a sweet message at the end and the illustrations are colorful and there is so much to look at. On each page there is a little black spider and mouse, sometimes they are hard to find so it's fun looking for them on each page with my daughter. I am so happy that these Little Critter books are still around and that they are still publishing new ones. I grew up with these books and now my daughter is growing up with them as well! This book was a great price on Amazon, at any other store this book would be $4.99. For less than $3 it's a steal, especially since it comes with over 20 stickers! Very happy with this book purchase!

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Critters Thanksgiving adventure.
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2015

A pretty good children's book. My 3 year old daughter and I enjoy reading it before bedtime. She really likes the reward of getting a sticker every time we finish the story. The book has 20 stickers of things in the story. So that is a nice incentive to have them pay attention to the whole book before they get a reward. I felt like other reviewers that the story does not really explain very much why we celebrate Thanksgiving. The book starts out in a classroom scene it would have been easy to just add 2 pages to that. The story does focus on a school play, town parade, cooking the dinner, and feeding the homeless. So it does cover some ground for a children's story. I agree with some other reviewers as well that Little Critter does not really face any consequences in this story for his actions that is why I would keep this book out of the 5 star range.

I grew up with Mercer Mayer stories. I always liked the colorful pages and adventures Little Critter and his family would go on. The books are great for young first time readers not overly wordy with text. The price is very acceptable, I would recommend reading it at the library first before purchasing.

Nao gostei. Esse livro tem umas 3 histórias, uma narrativa dentro da outra e demora para desenrolar a história principal (que nem parece principal). Não sao narrativas bem construídas, parecem ter sido colocadas para aumentar o número de páginas. Além disso, as ilustrações são muito feias, na minha percepção. O que valeu a pena foi algum vocabulário novo e o fato de ter adesivos, minha filha adora tirar e colar.
