This book is about a little critter who visited the beach his grandma. They had so much fun together.This is great book to be read aloud and used to encourage dialogic reading with young children. It is also a book that grandmas can use to enjoy a good read with the grand child(ren).
Cute although it gets old after you read it over and over. Think I'll hide it away until Grandmas come to visit. I love the artwork in the Mercer Mayer books. Like many other children's books, I think I appreciate this more than the kids do at this point.
Illustration often are counter to the words, adding a visual subtext to the story. Essentially just a list of what the character and grandmother do, but the story works well.
This is such a good book! It is about the little critter going to the beach with his grandmother and having fun with his grandmother. A great read a loud story for children.
Time spent with grandma makes great memories for children. This Critter wanted to be a big help to his grandma. Great reading and discussion book for young children.
My sisters and I used to sing, "We went to the beach, just grandma and me. Tran tarantantan... Tatatatantrarantantan..."
we used to play the CD as well

Little Critter goes to the beach with his Grandma and tells us all about what they did. Another Mercer Mayer story about Little Critters fun and busy trips.
These books remind me so much of my own Grandma. She used to read them to me when I spent the night at her house. Books can bring to mind such good memories.
Perfect timing since the boys were heading to Grandma's for a few days-- although not to the beach as in this story. Always fun!
My mom used to have this as a computer game that she and Austin would read and play together. They had so much fun!
I LOVE MERCER MAYER books! Little critter is one of my fave characters of kids books everywhere!
My mom bought this for my boys and they love to read it together! it's so cute :)
His grandma and him went to the beach and played and he was scared of the water.
Grandma and Little Critter go to the beach and hang out for the day.

YES! I loved this book! I also had the computer game. I miss this.
a cute story about sharing things with your grandparents
Way too many Critter books to add. Love 'em all!
love this one
My Children love all Mercer Mayer story books. These books are easy for children to make connections with at a young age and illustrations are fun. Just Grandma and Me would be well used during character building lessons. Children can join in on read aloud due to repetition of phrases “just grandma and me.”
Just Grandma and Me is a picture book in which the pictures confirm the meaning of the written words. This book shows all of the things that a grandma and her grandson did while at vacation at the beach. A child with an emergent reading level would enjoy this book. The book could be used for a guided reading.
We have a lot of Little Critter books.
They're short, they're funny, they're topical, and they're cheap.
As usual, Little Critter's view of events and the actual illustrations don't quite mesh together nicely. This is a source of endless amusement for young children.
Good book, one I'd recommend easily.

I began illustrating books in 1966. Since that time I have published over 300 books. Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid. Now I'm a big kid and I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always remind me of what it was like.
