Mercer Mayer's popular Little Critter enjoys a special day in the city with his mother. Little Critter means well, but he gets himself in trouble all along the way. His mother is oh so patient when Critter loses the train tickets, picks up a dinosaur egg in the natural history museum, and misbehaves at lunch. In spite of his difficulties, Little Critter falls asleep happily on the train going home, exhausted from the big outing with his mother.
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear
First published in 1984, a picture book in which the Little Mouse will do all he can to save his strawberry from the Big, Hungry Bear, even if it means sharing it with the reader. The Little Mouse and the Big Hungry Bear are known and loved by millions of children around the world. Little Mouse loves strawberries, but so does the bear...How will Little Mouse stop the bear from eating his freshly picked, red, ripe strawberry.
In this funny, all-too-human picture book, Mercer Mayer's famous Little Critter dreams of the day when he will be big enough to go to first grade, dial phone numbers by himself, camp out in the backyard, or walk to the corner store. By the end of his energetic daydreaming, Little Critter is so tired he has to go to bed. As he himself admits, "I'm not bigger yet." It's a fine and familiar catalogue of what young children yearn for.
Коротенькая книжка-читалка для самых-самых маленьких. Десять обезъянок сидели на дереве и дразнили крокодила, пока не обломилась ветка... :( Очень похоже на 10 негритят... Мне также напомнило другую английскую считалку (извините за отсутствие хэппи-энда): Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and broke his head. Mama called the doctor and the doctor said: 'No more monkeys jumping on the bed!'
