    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.

This book was a huge help in preparing our family's little one for her new sibling. It's all about the new baby so can be for either an incoming Brother or Sister. It is humorous with a little mouse buddy that accompanies all the action and we had fun laughing and talking about each page.When the baby was born, our little one was quoting things from the book about burping and being quiet...and we could tell that when she had repeatedly asked for the books to be read, she had been taking it all in. It has a nice vibe throughout where is shows how the sibling has an important role, but also that the baby has needs the sibling needs to be aware of.

I was looking for a book for my child when his baby sister was born. I thought this was a cute option. I like Little Critter stories and this was a typical story in their collection. I would have liked to find a story a little more meaningful but this one was fun anyhow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my 2 year old!
Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2023

My sons just a little over 2 and I'm pregnant with his little sister. We have this in his bedtime book rotation and he seems to like it, pointing at the baby on his favorite pages. I actually like that it mentions the real struggles having a new baby will bring like her crying and parents having to go change her diaper, not just saying how amazing it'll be. But then it gives simple solutions a toddler can do on their own to deal with these things, like giving her a baby toy. Honestly as an adult I wasn't even sure what to do with my first newborn lol, so this gives great simple ideas to the toddler of what they can do with her. I plan on buying more of these Little Critter books because they're perfect length and simple story lines for 2 year old to fallow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but not much substance
Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2021

I got this one when my parents were expecting (I was 4) so I thought I’d get one for my munchkin to have when/if I get pregnant. It’s cute, but very thin, not much to it at all. It is way below my kiddos level so I’ll be gifting it to someone more appropriately aged. It’s about baby sister as well, so if you are expecting a boy or if you’re not learning the gender this one might not be suited...

Mercer Mayer books are the best. Little kids relate to the critter in the books, who is very much like any child. It's a very sweet book that helps kids transition to having a new baby in the house. I love all the Mercer Meyer books, and my kids love them too. Can't go wrong in getting this as a gift for a sibling when a new baby is born.
