My kids love the Little Critter series by Mercer Mayer. These children’s books are perfect for kids ages 4-8. This month, there is a lot of Little Critter activity going on! I learned about free Little Critter activity pages and posters, plus discounted Little Critter apps and even a Get Caught Reading Contest you can enter to win a Grand Prize iPad Mini. Enjoy!

Thanks for the post! I had forgotten all about the Little Critters until now, but I remember them from when I was younger. I’m sure my son would love some of Mercer Mayer’s iPad apps!
