Children’s literature offers many different books
about poetry, fiction, and nonfiction books.
All children’s books are fun for children and adults to read. One of my
favorite books that I read as a child is “I was so Mad,” by Mercer Mayer. This book
is for students in grades kindergarten through third grade. This book is about
the little critter who is feeling angry the book shows the different situations
that make the character mad. Children would love reading this book and finding
out what makes the little critter mad. This book is one of my favorite because
it talks about being mad. I still have all the collection of the little critter
books. This author has so many fun and appropriate books for children about the
little critters adventures. The little critter is the character of the story.
He is a small furry animal, and he looks like a hamster. Children would enjoy
reading his books about the different adventures the little critter goes through,
and they would learn at the same time. Children would also enjoy reading these
books because in each book the little critter would always have a frog, spider
or a mouse character that tend to always follow the little critter along. I would
always enjoy finding them in each page. I would really recommend this book to
parents. A child would love reading these books about the little critter character,
and the words are so easy for children to read. The author’s illustrations are
so beautiful and make you smile and laugh on almost every page. Parents and
children would enjoy reading each book from this author. I would share this
book with my students, and I would read them the story, “I was so Mad.” After reading this story, students are going to
look for more books to read. I would have students do a little activity when we
are finish reading the story I would have students draw a picture of what makes
them mad or what makes them happy. I would
have students share their picture with the class. After finishing sharing their
picture, I would go back to the book and have students look for the frog, spider
or mouse character that always follow the little critter around. The little
critters books have sold over one hundred and fifty million copies. Mercer
Mayer has many books about the little critters that children would enjoy
reading.
