Hi my name is Charlee,I live in Newport MN, Cottage Grove MN, and Spooner WI. I'm ten I have a niece and nephew that sleep over alot and at bed time they sometimes have me read to them. When it comes to books Purple Pickle Juice by Mercer Mayer is the one. Its very funny. It has cute little spells like:"Hands above, feet below! Grow I say! Grow! Grow! Grow!" So if you like to laugh, visit Thistle Howell and her grand mother in Purple pickle Juice!

Thistle Howl grows up (just a little bit). 5 out of 5 stars.

Wow, I loved Mercer Mayer's Critter books when I was a kid! I never ever heard of Mayer's Critter's of the Night books though! I loved this one. Littlest Howl Family(Mayers version of the Addams Family)member, Thistle Howl is a little girl critter that is tired of being so small. When she wishes she could grow, her aunt, a wisened witch in the family, goes to great lengths to grant her niece's wish. Auntie Bell is hard of hearing though, and her attempts to replace Thistle's frown with a smile are hilarious!
I shared this book with 16 preschoolers at a public library during storytime. What a fantastic read! Mayer's little critters are just like the little critters we all adore in our own families today. Thistle is no exception. Her craving to be big is a familiar theme that captures the attention of every child. The illustrations are even more fantastic and fill the story with color and amusing accents. Even without the incredible pictures, the story is a must have for every child that wishes he or she could be just a little bit bigger.

Editorial Review:

Each morning, Thistle Howl drinks a glass of purple pickle juice and chants:

"Hands above, feet below. Grow, I say. GROW! GROW! GROW!" Yet she doesn't

get any bigger. Then Auntie Bell offers a few incantations of her own--and

Thistle gets a humongous surprise!

This was a great Father's day gift, especially for those who like "Little Critter" books.
A fun book to read with dad, on his day, and for the whole family to enjoy. It has become a favorite and we recall the day when we first read it, and how much we enjoyed it then.
We would recommend it to anyone who enjoys kid books!

Excellent Pre-schooler selection!! 4 out of 5 stars.

My daughter loves ALL Mercer Mayer's books. She's two and makes Dad read at least three or four per day. They're well written and beautifully illustrated. She spots something new every time we read one.

LITTLE CRITTER BOOKS ARE LONG FAVORITES 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My son loved the Little Critter books when he was growing up. He probably had at least a dozen of them. I'm so glad we never threw them out because now we have a 2 1/2 year old who will be able to enjoy them all over again. Mercer Mayers humorous and cartoony style of illustration is the kind of quality you'd see in the Sunday Funnies. The expressions of the characters are done with a cartoonist's hand, as opposed to an illustrator's.

In this book, Little sister is bored stiff because its raining out and she cannot go out to play. She is bored in her room and goes to play in her brother's room instead, even though he has the same toys. She tries to help mom with the housework but wakes the baby...Gosh! haven't we all had to deal with entertaining our kids when they cannot go out to play? Mayer nails it right on the head.

Just a wonderful book for kids and parents.

A great book for pre-schoolers about things & feelings! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I used this book with my own grown children about 15 years ago and they still remember the goofy little monsters! They learned how to count, to identify many things from vehicles to animals to places and activities. It lends itself to a pre-schooler's short attention span because on any given page is something that is bound to catch their attention as well as yours. I'm sure you will love the book!

Editorial Review:

The friendly characters from Monsterville help children associate words and pictures in this charming, vividly illustrated word book. Full color.

My daughter has worn this book out. The flaps are very sturdy. She loves to lift them herself and had even more fun when she learned to say the animal sounds.

Editorial Review:

Illustrated in full color. Little Critter wants to play with Kitty, but Grandma says she's sleeping. By the time he searches the entire farm for the cat, Little Critter is ready for a nap, too!
