This is the very first Little Critter book (first published in 1975, that's older than I am!) and our favourite. Both boys enjoy the books and I enjoy the underlying humour they have in them. Little Critter wants to do something special for his mum but his attempts keep falling short. He wants to mow the lawn but he is too little. He picks her an apple on the way home, but he got hungry. He wanted to take a nap, but the bed was too bouncy. In the end he does do something just for her - a big hug and a kiss. This book is too adorable and I love to use it as a way to get my own hug and kiss. 

Now that I know how old it is, it's going to be relegated to the "special book" pile and be treated with a little bit more care. It already holds significance for us as it started the Little Critter collection for our eldest and has been handed down to our little fella along with a number of other books in the series.
5/5
