Merry Christmas Mom and Dad

This is a sweet Little Critter book for the holidays that teaches an important life lesson.....good intentions don't always end with good outcomes.

Just as sweet and heartfelt as I remember listening to all those decades ago. There is a reason Little Critter books are still in print and this is a shining example why.

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 book explains how a young boy tries to help make Christmas special. He struggled to be successful and in return his parents seemed to be disappointed. He was trying to do the right thing and satisfy his parents although it always seemed to be wrong.

A little boy wants to help do everything at Christmas. He wants to help bake cookies, hang lights, and everything else for the holiday. However, he keeps getting into messes. He drops the lights, gets wrapped in tape, eats all the cookies, and many other silly mishaps. Finally, Christmas comes and he does not want to wake mom and dad up to early, so he brings his toys to their bedroom to show them!

Mercer Mayer's Little Critter is getting ready for Christmas in this classic, funny, and heartwarming book. Whether he's making wreaths, eating gingerbread cookies, or putting the star on the top of the tree, both parents and children alike will relate to this beloved story. A perfect way to celebrate the holiday season! -- GoodReads
