Just a Daydream is a great book for students to read if there is a lot of bullying going on in the classroom. Critter keeps getting bullied by another kid. This bully takes his candy, pushes him down, and takes his ball. Critter imagines himself as Super Critter. Super Critter has a cape. He would be able to fly high and help out the critters of Critterville. He scares away aliens and trains a dinosaur. Super Critter even builds a castle. At the end of the story Critter realizes he is not Super Critter like he has imagined. As soon as he realizes he is not Super Critter the bully comes to give Critter his candy back. The bully said that a masked critter with a cape told him to be nice. After that the bully and Critter played together as show more friends. show less
The ending always confuses me. I like it though and the girls really enjoy reading it!

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.
