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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, good lesson, educational bonus
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2007

The story is excellent because of the nearness to reality. It has a great lesson that all children need to know - helping behaviors are always good even if they do not turn out as we expect. And at the end of the story there are educational tasks included that tie back into the words and grammar used in the book. I used it in a rehab group teaching children helping behaviors and was able to also use it for educational enrichment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute book for young readers
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2007
This is a cute book I purchased for my 5-year-old grandniece. It's a little over her head right now but she likes that it's a big girl book and wants to read like a first grader. The story seemed better for a 4 or 5-year-old but the reading level more for a 7 or 8-year-old.
