Little Critter: Little Blessings Collection

 

 

Mercer Mayer's Little Critter: Little Blessings Collection includes four books in one. The books are You Go First, It’s True!, Being Thankful, and We All Need Forgiveness. Each book teaches valuable lessons for little ones.  It shows children through fun and colorful illustrations values that God would be pleased with even though sometimes we all mess up.

You Go First is a story where Little Critter is always wanting to be first, he isn’t thinking about anyone else’s feelings but his own. By the end he has learned that being with his friends and taking turns is much better.

In It’s True learning that even telling partial truths was the same as lying. Little Critter quickly learns that God is more pleased with us when we tell the truth.

Being Thankful is exactly what it says. Little Critter learns to be thankful for the things he has and does even though he may not always get exactly what he wants.

Lastly, We All Need Forgiveness, Little Critter is forgiven when he makes mistakes at home but he doesn’t always extend this forgiveness to others when they do something to him. Then he makes a mistake at school and all of his friends get mad at him and aren’t so quick to forgive him.  His mom teaches him we should always forgive others just like God forgives us.  Eventually they all forgive each other and everything is good again.

I love this book and would recommend it to families who have small children who may need a gentle reminder of good behavior. I can’t wait to read it to my little one. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.
