Can you guess what famous author just celebrated their birthday?
Here are a few clues:
- He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on December 30, 1943.
- He’s written and illustrated over 300 children’s books.
- His most famous character appeared in his 1975 book, Just For You.
- Two of the main character’s favorite pets are a grasshopper and a spider.
- He’s going to be 69 this year so that means next year is the BIG 70, so we need to start planning a BIG celebration.
Did you guess?
That’s the award-winning American children’s book author and illustrator Mercer Mayer! And in celebration, Silver Dolphin Books will unveil their very first Little Critter App —Mercer Mayer’s Little Critter: The Trip. The app is being developed by Silver Dolphin Books and the award-winning app developer John R. Sansevere and will be available in late January 2013.
In Little Critter: The Trip, you can take an action-packed car trip with Little Critter, Little Sister, Mom, and Dad in which everything imaginable happens—literally—from A to Z, in this fun-filled interactive app! “B is for bad” when the “T is for tire” goes flat! And “L is for lost” when where did the “R is for road” go? Little Critters’ trip is full of humorous ups and downs, like the road they follow! It’s up to you and Little Critter to help find the way, fix the car when it breaks down, and play lots of fun “G is for games” with Little Sister to pass the time! Kids learn along with Little Critter as, true to his nature; he cheers you on to scale new heights!

I think my nephew would love the Richard Scarry’s Busytown’s Busy Kids app.
They have a whole separate section for books that can be used for homeschooling which I think is pretty neat.
I’d love the book “SPACE the animated 3D guide”.
L oved the Little Critter e-cards-I had no idea they made them!
I like the Little Critter® Activity Sheets
My grandson would love the 3-D Explorer: Dinosaurs book.
Richard Scarry’s Busy Kids and Little Critter’s The Trip is available as an app for Android and iOS. That would be so handy to keep your child occupied on a trip or at the doctor’s office!
I loved the little critter collection when I was little and then I loved reading them to my kids when they were little and I look forward to reading to them to my grand kids one day in the future and if my fiance has his way maybe more kids.
