(4) K-3 My First I Can Read Book series. Mayer's Little Critter is excited to help his dad do chores around the house and run some errands. As always, Little Critter tries his best, but he somehow manages to make things more difficult for his ever-patient parent (perhaps the book's real audience). Mayer's familiar pictures extend the easy-to-read text.
