Little Critter, Mercer Mayer's beloved character, stars in his own bad dream.

Not the best Little Critter.
We have a lot of these, because they're so inexpensive.

I don't like how Little Critter spends most of his dream being mean to his parents. Sure, he eventually feels lonely and sad and wakes up from his nightmare (since that's what it is), but it still sits wrong with me.

Little ones and dreams
As a parent I sometimes wonder what I'd do without wonderful books like this one. When a child has bad dreams and you just talking isn't helping, this one might make the discussion easier.

Nightmares happen to everybody
Gives a perspective about nightmares and lets preschooler know they are okay and happen to everybody. Little Critter has a dream that he drinks a magic potion and does wild stuff that he is never allowed to do : skip his baths, have a gorilla for a pet, eat icecream for breakfast, etc. Then when he gets sleepy in his dream, there is no one to tuck him in, read him a story, and give him a hug (the nightmare part). He wakes up to his Mom and Dad comforting him, tucking him in, and giving him warm milk.

fulfill my son's imagination
I read this book to my 3-yr-old son. He is both surprised and excited about the idea that little critter can do whatever he wants after drinking the magic potion. My son can imagine that he is little critter who can eat as much ice creams and chocalateas he wants and stay up as late as he wants. At the end little critter still wants his mom and dad to tug him in and hug him. So is my son. My son can relate to this book. No wonder he loves it.
