Little Critter is excited that it snowed. He cannot wait to go outside and build a snowman, but first he has to do what everyone wants to do. He always puts himself second and never complains that he doesn’t get his way. He wants everyone to be happy and in the end, he finally gets to build his snowman.
This book talks about a nice snowy day. The two characters go out and play in the snow and talk about all the things they can do. They decided to build a snowman. It is a fun read to show students that don't get to experience snow what it would be like to play in it.
Read during the winter. Creating a snowman in the winter. What to do on a snowday.
Little Critter books are similar to Berenstein Bears. They are small picture books that usually have a moral of some kind. They are good for children first and up.
Little Critter wants to build a snowman, but there are lots of other things that to be done first.

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
