Drawing and writing

We got some "new" Mercer Mayer books today from our favorite yard-saling kindergarten teacher who probably wants to remain anonymous.

Lee and I love Mercer Mayer's Little Critter characters and books. So much that's who we named our blog after.

Lee is an artist. Tonight he drew another Little Critter character (I hope Mercer Mayer doesn't mind) that he called "Little Critter Boss of Clown."

Lee is a writer. Today he said he learned from his wonderful first-grade teacher the rules of a "super sentence." There are three rules: 1) Don't write sloppy; 2) Start with a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence; 3) Put a period at the end of your sentence.

I think Lee may be the next Mercer Mayer!

Mercer Mayer

The inspiration for our blog name came from my superhero son who loves to draw and read Mercer Mayer Little Critter books.

Superhero son illustrated his own Mercer Mayer book recently, which he titled Just A Soopr Day... thus the name of our blog. His "Superhero" Critter character (an original) also appears here.

Our blog will be a place where you can come for useful news and where the Old Lady will seek parenting, cooking, homemaking, laundry advice, etc. from others.
