A child tries a variety of ways to dissolve anger.

Little Critter® and his family plant some vegetables. After lots of watering, weeding, and waiting, they enjoy a delicious meal--all from their green, green garden.

"Uh-oh, Dad needs help! When Dad is locked in the basement, Little Critter knows what to do. He picks up the phone to dial three numbers. The firement arrive in just a few minutes to rescue Dad... but they don't stay long to share in the excitement. They have another job to do. Join Littler Critter as he shares his 9-1-1 smarts!"--From publisher description.

Hooray! It is a snow day! And what a perfect time to make a snowman. But Little Sister needs help putting on her boots, Dad needs a hand with shoveling, and Gator wants to build a fort. Will Little Critter ever get to build a snowman? --Cover back.

All the many things a young child can do independently are demonstrated, (tying shoes, riding bike, kicking ball), but there is one thing one cannot do alone.

A child imagines all the things to be done when one is bigger.

Little Critter does his enthusiastic best to help his babysitter, although his efforts frequently make a bad situation worse.

The new baby takes some getting used to, but she's worth it.

Father and son go camping, but who is really taking care of whom?
