Free Printable Little Critter Coloring Pages, Mercer Mayer Activites


Mercer Mayer is one of the world's most beloved children's' book author and illustrator. He is probably best known for his children's book series about a lovable furry character named Little Critter. This adorable little “monster” gets into all the usual childhood mishaps with his mother, father and little sister. Little Critter learns about sharing, being afraid, having patience and have fun with his friends and family.
Little Critter books are excellent resources to help children understand and cope with life's many little issues. Children can laugh at their own foibles seen in his antics. Mercer Mayer has also written a series about Little Monster. If you like these characters you want these free printable  Little Critter activities.

Little Critter and Little Monster have been loved by children since Mercer Mayer created them in 1975. I love the books but my favorite of his books will always be "There's a Nightmare in My Closet"and "There's an Alligator Under My Bed" and "There is Something In My Attic." Being an easily frightened child, I could relate to the no-nonsense coping skills used by the intrepid children in these whimsical stories. My children have always loved these books
