Customer Reviews

Fun in the Sun with Grandma!

Little Critter goes to the beach with Grandma. . . As usual, with the events in the day, things don't go the way little Critter expects them to. . . The beach umbrella almost blows away with him. His kite gets stuck on someone's horns. He drops the hot dogs in the sand, but washes them off in the ocean, before they eat them. My granddaughter loves for me to read and reread the little critter books. . .

cute and fun

This book is cute because (as always) Little Critter tells the story, and what Little Critter says is not quite what Little Critter does - and the kids catch on. For example, he drops the hot dogs in the sand and cleans them off by rinsing them in the ocean. He thinks this is fine - Grandma does not look convinced. And his description of his own swimming abilities does not match the frightened Critter wearing a floaty and clinging to his Grandma in the picture. This book always gets laughs from my 4 year old and she loves pointing out the things that aren't quite right.

Great for beginning readers!!

My first grade daughter really enjoyed reading this book. There were many words that were repeated which really helps out first time readers. In addition, there were enough new words to keep it challenging for her. The book was just long enough, not too short and not too long. I highly recommend this book for beginning readers. A plus for us, this book was on her AR list.

Just Grandma and Me

This book is about a little boy who was spending time with his grandma down at the beach. They went snorkeling, swimming, and played in the sand. I like this book because it reminds me of stuff I used to do with my Grandma when I was younger. I also liked this book because it shows little kids that hanging out with your grandma isn't bad and its fun. I think all little kids should read this book, and all the books by Mercer Mayer. Especially this one, with your grandma.

Mommy's CD Helper

My son has mild autism and it's been quite a challenge trying to find a book on print or CD that would hold his attention. He was 3 yrs old when he received the CD from a friend of mine. Something about Little Critter brought my son out and it's been a "Grandma and me, grandma and me" life for him since then.

Just Grandma and Me

A delightful book, perfect for a gift for any grandma and her grandchild to share. A great story for developing memories of a day at the beach or preparing for one together. Little Critter as always, makes us smile through this heart-warming story.
