Summary: This book is about a family of critters. The boy critter is unhappy, because he says that nothing goes his way and life is not fair. The entire story he complains about not getting his way on anything. At the end he says that there is one thing that is fair. The last picture shows him smiling because he gets to stay up later than his younger brother and sister every night.
Personal Reaction: I thought that this book was okay. It is a good book to read because it shows that life is not always fair. When reading the book to children it would be good to explain why the boy did not get his way in the instances described.
Classroom Extensions: 1) I would have all the children write down a list of everything that they thought was not show more fair. I would them have them read their list and then we would discuss it as a class. 2) I would teach the children that sometimes in life you do not always get your way. I would describe to them times I did not get my way and things turned out better because of it. show less

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
