When Little
Critter is sent by his mom to find his missing socks, he sets right out. But
what he finds instead is tons of missing ‘treasure’, from toys to instruments
to clothes. He is so excited to find each new thing, but still hasn’t found the
socks!
Of course, adorably
illustrated, this book is filled with cute animals and bright colors. I don’t
really like the lesson here though. It grates at me that Little Critter has
so many toys and is so irresponsible with them. Especially true after reading
the Rent Collector for my last review, where a family lives at the dump and
each item they use really is a treasure.
