Review
This is the 40th anniversary of Mercer Mayer's Little Critter books. In this new title, despite their initial excitement over getting a new student at school, students are quickly dismayed to see the student become the teacher's pet. However they realize she is a team player when, at the end of the book, she hits a grand slam homerun to win the game so they all want her on the team. This story follows the formula of past titles. There is lots going on in the illustrations, making them fun to look at. Mouse and spider are back expressing their disdain along with the rest of the class. Children still seem to like Little Critter, so should pick this one up to enjoy.
Overall Book Score: good
