All by Myself (Little Critter) (Look-Look)

Great book for independent kids. Love this author and illustrations

This is the first Little Critter book I've purchased and overall, I'm very happy. I bought this for my 3 year old who is more than capable of doing many things on his own, but plays "helpless" when Mama is around. I've seen him engaging with Little Critter content on his Fire tablet, so I knew he had some interest in the character. This book was great-- very quick read, engaging illustrations and, for an adult, really easy to "chime in" to the story (without losing momentum) to make it relevant to their child (ie "little critter climbs into bed...just like you climb into your bed..." etc.). My 3 year old has the attention span of a 3 year old and, unlike most of his other "age appropriate" books, he'll actually sit still and let me read this to him. Great price as well. Would highly recommend.

This is a simply story of Little Critter telling us all the things he can do by himself. Age appropriate for about 3-6 years old. Even though Little Critter isn't doing every activity perfectly (spilling juice and making messes) he is trying and feeling good and independent. Basically it shows Little Critter being proud of the things he can do well and the things he's learning to do, which is great for little kids because they identify with Little Critter and see they can feel proud about the things they do. My daughter is a little perfectionist and won't try something unless she knows she'll be good at it, or gives up on trying the first couple of times she fails. So seeing Little Critter spilling juice while saying, "I can pour juice" (yeah he's pouring it just not in a cup haha!) tells her that it's okay to not get it right every time. Unlike other reviews have said, I don't think this teaches a child anything negative or shows them the wrong way to do something. They can clearly see that Little Critter is messing up, but that's good for them because they can think, "He's just like me, he also makes mistakes." Meanwhile Little Critter is still proud of himself, because he tried. This is so encouraging and not to be underestimated.

Long time Mercer Mayer fan for 39 yrs from my little brother to my six kids and now my grandkids, beloved them all.

Cute book read once.

Great book! Great grandson loved it and took it home, is now happy to do things for himself.

This is a Christmas gift for my grandson. I am sure he will enjoy it. This will be marked as one of his first books.

Read tgese to my boys now all grown up. Now I like them for my grandkids.

Loved it

my kids, loved it simple and teach them that they can do all by them selfs.

Todos los libros de Mercer Mayer son muy buenos, a mi hijo le encanta leer este libro pues habla de todas las cosas que ya puede hacer solo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I read this to my kids when they were small and now it’s a favorite with my grandkids.

Délicieuse histoire, qui résume très bien les intentions de mon petit bonhomme à moi. Le format est génial pour les petites mains qui l'emporte jusque dans le lit. Chaque page permet de partir à la recheche de la souris ( et parfois de l'araignée) qui ne quitte pas Critter. Mon seul problème est de trouver un nom plus "français" à cette petite peluche adorable.
