Not so good - no hint of how to cope with the annoyances that a normal part of life. I suppose one could be inspired to discuss ideas with one's toddler what Little Critter could have done to make lemonade from the lemons he was given," as it were, but an independent early reader would just join LC's pity party."
"Just A Bad Day" by Mercer Mayer is about Little Critter who is having a day that nothing was going his way. He wants to play with his truck, but his dad accidentally broke it and wants to play outside after the rain, but his mom said it was too muddy. Everything Little Critter wanted to do just didn't go as he planned or wanted. At the end of the day, something good finally happens. Read the book to see what good thing happens to Little Critter. This book is for K - 2. Great for helping kids realize they are not the only ones that have bad days.

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures. Mayer was one of the first illustrators to be credited for using this format. Five more books in this series were to follow. Mayer joined Golden Publishing, creators of Little Golden Books, in 1976. Through them he has sold his "Little Critter" and "Little Monster" series, which are popular with beginning readers. His title Just Me and My Dad made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. In 2015, his title Little Critter: Just a Little Love, also made the list. His holiday book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is also a bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
