MERCER MAYER began writing and illustrating children’s books in 1966, and since that time, he has published over 300 titles. Open almost any of the award-winning author/illustrator’s books, and out may pop dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters.

“Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid,” says Mercer. “Now that I’m a big kid, I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always help remind me of what it was like.”

Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mercer Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps near his home. During his teenage years, he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies, he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate a collection of children’s books, reflecting many of the adventures he experienced as a child.

In 2007, Mr. Mayer was commissioned by Laura Bush to create the artwork used for the National Book Festival held on September 29 on the National Mall. He was an honored guest to the event, giving a demonstration and autographing hundreds of books for fans who attended.

When my kids were little they loved the Little Critter books, enjoying the story along with the amazing pictures! Now my grandkids love the Little Critter books, carrying them around with them and having them read several times a day. I've enjoyed getting the books for them. My Trip to the Hospital book, I've purchased because one of my grandsons is going to the hospital for minor surgery. I hope the little book will give him something to identify with, and help him to relax. These books have been so much fun for my family! Thank you Mercer Mayer!

5.0 out of 5 stars No Fears Here!

Once again the darling, but mischievious Little Critter takes a trip and discovers something new and interesting. This little book finds him visiting the hospital and learning that it and the doctors aren't something to be afraid of.

The perfect gift for a child who has worries about their own upcoming trip to the hospital, or; as in my grandson's case, has worries about the unknown place that his mother will be going to for surgery for a few days.

This charming book tells all it needs to for children ages 2-6 from my perspective as a grandmother. Buy it, they'll love it!

I get all my grandchildren Little Critter books from Amazon. It's fast and convenient shopping when they are all over the US and I'm living in FL.

I love the Mercer Mayer books so when my 2 year old granddaughter needed a trip to the hospital, I had to send this to her. As expected, it is a cute little story. I'm grateful I could get this to her even if I couldn't be there.

Bought as a gift - the cutest story, and we've always loved Little Critter. The only improvement was that the cover was very thin, not the usual cover thickness that you would get for kids. Not sure it's going to last too long.

I have reviewed on several of these Mercer Mayer books and each book just seems to get better... this is a delightful series of books and help to teach your child about everyday circumstances and reafftirm it is OK to be afraid, or shows how you can hurt someones feelings, learn to save money and the love that people have for you!! Good job and Kudos to Mercer Mayer. I will continue to purchase these books for my grandchildren.

The little critter collection is always a bedtime classic. These books are quick to read and are full of colour to keep your child engaged. They are funny and whole hearted. You can easily read 1 or 2 a night and enjoy them yourself just as much as your child does.

I read this book to my daughter before she went in for surgery. It helped to explain a bit of what was going to happen. This and a few other books helped her a lot.
