I love the Little Critter's books! Little Critter is getting ready for his sisters birthday day! He finds her the present that he thinks she will like best! Turns out, it is her favorite present of all! This books is great for children who are just starting to read, but need a little help!

I loved this book. I think all of us have felt left out of things only to find that what we felt left out of was all being planned for us.

Little Critter finds the best present for his little sister's birthday party.

This book is about a little boy who is going birthday present shopping for his sister with his dad. Once he picks out the present they go home and celebrate. Eating ice cream and cake, playing games, and opening presents. When his sister opens his present, she loves it and says it’s the best on yet. This book is great for beginning readers.
