Customer Reviews

My grandson seemed to like the book.
The story was a little simpler than I expected, but my grandson seemed to like it all the same.

Boy, do we love the Little Critter books!
We have a lot of Little Critter books.

They're short, they're funny, they're topical, and they're cheap.

As usual, Little Critter's view of events and the actual illustrations don't quite mesh together nicely. This is a source of endless amusement for young children.

Good book, one I'd recommend easily.

cute and fun
This book is cute because (as always) Little Critter tells the story, and what Little Critter says is not quite what Little Critter does - and the kids catch on. For example, he drops the hot dogs in the sand and cleans them off by rinsing them in the ocean. He thinks this is fine - Grandma does not look convinced. And his description of his own swimming abilities does not match the frightened Critter wearing a floaty and clinging to his Grandma in the picture.

This book always gets laughs from my 4 year old and she loves pointing out the things that aren't quite right.
