Not like the originals
These are "new" little critter books and don't have any imagination. Punctuation mistakes and no creativity... Nothing like the original books. The only thing going for them are the illustrations, which have a lot going on, so my kid likes looking at them.
Not original books
I loved the Little Critter books as a child, and now that I have my own child, have been trying to collect some for him to enjoy. I ordered this set thinking it was a great deal, but unfortunately am disappointed. This is probably my fault for not reading the description, but these books are nothing like the ones I had as a child, or ones I had bought for my son previously. The pictures are weird and the stories lack the charm of the originals. We haven’t read them again, and would have returned them but I didn’t think it would be worth it to get back a few bucks.
Horrid messages
Pure rubbish. My children liked these as children so I purchased this for my granddaughter. I discarded the entire set the same day. Such negative messages. Save your money. These are not the type of message I want to be reading to our little one
Five Stars
Very colorful.
Not the same as the older ones
I saw some of the negative reviews about these books being different from the earlier ones but decided to buy it anyway since it was a great deal. I mean how much different could the stories be? Man was I wrong. These stories are indeed very different from earlier ones. Not sure why. Seems to be the sale author. But these newer ones definitely lack imagination, are poorly written and do indeed present bad messages about anger and losing your temper. I should have believed the negative reviews. If you are buying these because you used to have the older ones, be warned that these are not the same as the older ones. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
Great book series
Great book series and cheaper to buy the box set then individual one. Plus box set has handle and Velcro flap to keep close but easily open. Recieved on time as well
Great buy, fabulous books!
Great price for five books and they are all wonderful! My son (6) and myself have enjoyed every single book. You won’t regret this purchase. We have even given it as a gift!
Engaging to a young growing mind
This is a great collection. My children loved Little Critter so I purchased this set for my grandson shortly after he turned 1 and he loves them. We have added several Little Critter books to his collection and we read 2 or 3 of them daily. He knows them by title and Little Critter is always his first choice. I highly recommended them if you want your child or grandchild to take an interest in reading. The stories and illustrations are engaging.
Nothing like the original Little Critter.
Stick with the original Little Critter set from Mercer Mayer. These books are ok in terms of story line for kids bedtime but if you know the original ones from the author, those are much better. The price value of the set is absolutely a great deal however. So if you don’t care much about the story line and jokes or lessons of Little Critter, these books are good.
Perfect gift to friends with toddler kids.
One of the best toddler book series. We have bought two sets as birthday gifts to friends, in addition to our 3 year old. The bedtime stories are just right length and they are in small booklets.

A must buy!
My son loves these books at 18 months. He loves the box and being able to carry them around in it. The stories are cute and enjoyable!
Love them!
I bought these for my nephew since he started Pre-K recently. He absolutely loves them. They come in a hard cover case and are super cute. Would recommend you buying them!
Duplicate book
These are my kids favorite books! They are so adorable. We received a duplicate of the same book though! :(
Perfect set for little critter fans
Excellent set. My son loves little critter books and he was thrilled to receive thi set for Christmas. Nice giftable box, great price

I loved reading Little Critter books to my kids when they were little, now I am blessed to share them with my grandson! Excellent quality, love the storage case!! Super deal. Highly recommend!!
Missing book
I've always loved Little Critter books so I bought this set. I was eager to read it to my grandchildren via Facetime. I gave it 4 stars because 1 book was missing and 1 book was duplicated. I didn't want to send the whole set back so I contacted the merchant to see if I could simply swap the extra one I received for the missing one. They never responded.
Awesome value for a terrific Mercer Mayer set!
Great set! Bought it for my preschool class. We all just love Little Critter!
Two of the same books in box?
I received the boxed set I ordered today - and there are two of the same book in the box ("Just My Lost Treasure"). Should I return the entire box, or can someone contact me to send me the correct book that I'm missing? My Granddaughter loves the Little Critter books, and I was looking forward to having five new books to surprise her with tonight...
Doubles
I received two of the same book!
My son loves them
My son loves the books, and I like that they are books I used to read growing up so we are happy with the purchase
Long time favorite!
My son loved this collection when he was little and now his children are loving it too! There is nothing like a Critter story to help you get to sleep!
Perfect for a quick bedtime story
These are the perfect length to read while my little one drink their sip cup of milk in bed. Right when she finishes the milk I finish these stories, she loves to pick out which one to read each night. She is 5.
Great gift for your own family or someone else
I love book sets like these. Fun stories, fun pictures. My 1 and 3 year old both love reading them with me. Comes in a cute box to keep the set together. Perfect gift!
Great set!

Supposed to have 5 diff books in the set. I got 5 books but two of the books were the same. Overall a nice set but irritating that I got duplicate copies Of same book.
Classic cute stories, love critter!

Such a cute collection of stories. My son loves them! They are perfect for story time with my toddler. The case is great for keeping them from getting lost or bent. It even had a little extra room for our other Little Criiter book.

Great set
This set is wonderful and of great quality. Love the stories since I was a kid and now my kids love them as well.
Duplicates instead of variety
We received duplicate books in the box instead of five different stories as the description shows. Otherwise the quality of the items was fine.
Colorful and engaging
This is the kind of gift I will buy over and over to give to new parents.
Granddaughter favorite

Buy the older ones, not these
These books are terrible. The original Little Critters are way better - these are wordy and repetitive and dumb. Mercer Mayer should probably quit while he is ahead.

New style illustrations :/
The illustrations in these newer little critter books saddens me :( very different. They are more cartoon-like and computer animated looking.
