The big idea of this story is that even though a plan may not work out as planned, you can still have a great time! The Critter family had planned a day for a family picnic but everywhere they went there was something or someone stopping them! Eventually they ended up back at home, where they had a relaxing picnic in their living room. They even ate on their red and white checked picnic blanket, and read a story to end the day. Students can learn that although the day or event doesn't seem to be going as planned they can still have a great time, as long as they are together with the ones they love and care about.
21 months- a little critter fan you of course liked this one. It will also be a good beginning reading book in the future.

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
