We love love love little critter! I enjoyed these from my own childhood and this was a new one to me! My kids absolutely love dinosaurs and dinosaur bones so we were really excited to find this title offered. This arrived very quickly and in perfect condition, no blemishes or tears to the pages. In the story, little critter attends a field trip to the museum and all he wants to see are the dinosaur bones, just like my own kids would want to do, except the dinosaur exhibit is closed because a dinosaur bone is missing! It is fun for the kids to go on a literary tour through the meseum with their favorite little critter and find out if he will help find the dinosaur bone and get to see the dinosaur bone exhibit after all! (Spoiler alert! He does, of course!) I really loved the fact the spider and cricket are still hiding on every page, waiting for the kids to find, just as it was when I was younger and enjoying my own little critter books. It was a trip down memory lane to be able to read these to my kids and I am so happy they love little critter as much as I did! It is even exciting for me to find new titles that interest my kids as well! This book was a little difficult for my emergent reader and she needed some help, but she still enjoyed both listening to and practicing her reading skills with this book. My older son, who is a higher level reader, really enjoyed reading this book out loud as well as being read too. It was not overly difficult or challenging but it still kept him engaged. He loves to read this to his younger siblings because we all love little critter and all things dinosaur and dinosaur bones! This is another great title in the little critter series and I am happy to add this in to my collection!

My 5 year old son has loved Mercer Mayer stories since his first one, "When I Get Bigger", that I started reading to him when he was just a baby. Over the years, we have amassed quite a collection of these stories, and as his interests change, we are ususally able to find a book by Mercer Mayer on the subject. The stories are fun and quirky, but generally send a message about situations you may find yourself in out in the world. I will continue to buy these stories hopefully for years to come.

My four-year-old enjoyed this. Basically, Little Critter searches the museum for the missing bone, passing through some of the popular exhibits. The ending is rather ordinary and almost anti-climactic, however, when he finds the bone in another exhibit almost by accident. It's not exactly a lesson in problem-solving, but rather in persistence.

Another tale from Mercer Mayer and his beloved character Little Critter. This time you find Little Critter and his class going to the museum but the Dinosaur Exhibit is closed because a bone is missing. Little Critter is disappointed because that is the part of the museum he had been looking forward to, but in the end it is Little Critter who helps solve the mystery and gets his class a behind-the-scenes tour!

In this book, Little Critter is visiting the museum on a class field trip, and is excited to see the dinosaur exhibit; however, the exhibit is closed because a dinosaur bone is missing. Little Critter then searches the museum for the missing bone, getting into some mischief along the way. Our 3 year old son loves dinosaurs, and even though this book doesn't focus on dinosaurs as much as I thought it would, he still loves this book. He's wanted to read it at least ten times this week alone. And he likes to sit quietly and look at the book by himself too, flipping through the pages and studying each one. It's a great addition to our Little Critter collection, and our son's current favorite.

I have purchased several of these books. My children and now my grandchildren enjoyed reading these books especially at age 3-7.I enjoy them also. They are illustrated well.Just long enough for them to not lose interest.

Drawings are nice and clear, story very age-appropriate for the kids. I personally thought it was great for them, but only gave it 4 stars since they read it once and didn't seem very enthusiastic about reading it again. My boys are 4 and 6 and are more interested in the flashy & brightly colored super-hero books or wacky Sponge-bob stories. So I guess it depends on the child's interests, but I would recommend it as a parent.

I read these books to my sons and now I read them to my grandson. I filled his Easter basket with Little Critter books and have several on my Kindle. The little guy is so cute, always on the edge of trouble but comes out of it on the right side!
