My daughter loves everything by Mercer Mayer, and she especially loved this Me and My Mom one because we always do similar things together, so she really could relate to it. You can never go wrong with these books.
I loved reading this book as a child - about a "Critter's" special relationship with their mom - and I like reading it to children now that I am an adult. Children need to feel a special place with their parents and this book is a sweet story of parent-child relationships. The illustrations are cute. It is part of a larger "Little Critter" series of books by Mercer Mayer that remain popular among children.
If I'd known I had to do all this behind work I might not have bought this wonderful book here
The pictures are great, but the dialogue is not as creative as some of the others. This Little Critter book is a little less inviting than the others. Firstly, there is no cricket or spider to find - you find a frog. As a mommy, I was a little disappointed in "my" version of these books and find my son enjoys the Grandma and Dad books versions more - which I can see why. Still, it is in our collection and is the "chosen" bedtime story on occasion.
Also, the story line and images were a little too complex for my then 6-month old. I did not read closely enough and did not realize this was a paperback. My daughter is reading primarily board books right now. Unfortunately, I returned this book. But the book is probably appropriate for an older child.
