This week begins Children's Book Week (10th-16th) and I couldn't think of a better book to start off this week's worth of reviews than this book we got in recently from Sterling Books:
Little Critter, Where is my Frog by Mercer Mayer
The Little Critter series began in 1976 when Mayer joined Golden Publishing (later Random House). More than 250,000 of the titles were sold, making them a beloved book of multiple generations! Sterling has now acquired the rights and will be reprinting the books- YAY!!! This is the first of the books, being published this month!
Synopsis: Oh, no--where did Little
Critter’s pet frog go? He’s escaped by the lake while Critter and Dad
are on a fishing trip. Could froggie be in the log, up a tree, under a
rock, or inside the cave?
Kids will
have fun lifting the flaps and joining the mad search!
Author Info: Mercer Mayer has been writing and illustrating children's books for over
35 years.His wife, Gina, has been co-writing the Little Critter series since the early 1990s.
The books in the Little Critter series address the major issues of growing up through
humorous storytelling.
Review: My daughter LOVED this book. She was really confused as to why you would have a frog for a pet (why isn't he be with his mommy and daddy?") when Critter had a dog, but she loved the rhyming story and looking under the flaps for froggie. She adored being able to count froggies 'family' members! I was too old when this series came out, but as enchanted as my daughter was, I'm sure we'll be buying more books from the series that Sterling is re-releasing!
