Mercer Mayer's very popular character stars in a getting-ready-for-Christmas picture book. Little Critter approaches Christmas with the intention of being a good helper. When he makes a mistake, he has a logical explanation. He couldn't wrap the Christmas package because the tape got too sticky. He couldn't buy his parents a present because there were too many toys to look at. He couldn't put up the tree lights because they were just too tangled. Little Critter means well, but every funny illustration shows him as tangled up as the Christmas lights.
Trying to be good for Christmas without bungling everything up is difficult.

October 22, 2007: My mother-in-law, gave my 2 children Merry Christmas Mom & Dad back in the early 80's. They loved having it read to them and listeningto the record. It is a fun story about little folks trying to be helpful, but making a mess instead-all with the best of intentions. I think it helps kids know that they can help and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes they have to grow a little bigger to help.
