One of my favorite authors when I was growing up and still is, is Mercer Mayer. He is best known for his series The Little Critter, which is favorite. Looking back on all the books he has written about the Little Critter, my favorite is Just Grandma and Me. This book is about spending a whole day with grandma at the beach building sandcastles, eating hot dogs, and the ride home on the bus. That book holds so many memories for me. My grandma gave me that book when I was 5 years. To this day, I still have it. Because it has so many memories for me, I don't think I am going to put that in my classroom library.
Mr. Mayer writes book about spending time with family. The Little Critter is constantly around family. Mercer Mayer has so many books about just normal family things. Another that is my favorite is Happy Easter, Little Critter. There is the Easter Bunny that drops off the kids easter baskets, they go to Church (and the Little Critter complains about the big hats), they get to dye eggs, and have easter egg hunt.
Mercer Mayer's collection of the Little Critter includes the Little Critter with his grandpa, mom, dad, little brother, Christmas, Halloween, dealing with a new neighbor, homework, a school project, going to bed, spending a day at the hospital, and etc.
Here is a website that you can find all his books and games. http://www.littlecritter.com/
