Brand new The School Play (Mercer Mayer's Little Critter book club), Paperback, 24 Pages!
This story is another fine addition to the Little Critter series. Little Critter has received a role in the school play -- as a green elf. He only has one line, but he takes the role very seriously --- even practicing in the bathtub. He's sure he's got the line down pat, but he does't count on stage fright.
Seeing all the people makes Little Critter nervous. He hopes that his nervousness will go away before he gets on stage, but it doesn't. Then, though, something unexpected happens to help Little Critter out.
This is a cute story featuring the trademark illustration style of the Little Critter series, with plenty of visual gags (this time mostly involving a little mouse) thrown in for added humor. Anyone who's ever have to give some sort of performance or speech before should be able to identify with this story.
