Join Little Critter® as he learns why it’s important to be thankful for what he has—not to be upset about what he doesn't. 

Since 1975, Mercer Mayer has been writing and illustrating stories about Little Critter and the antics he stumbles into while growing up. Tommy Nelson is thrilled to bring this beloved brand that humorously portrays social and emotional issues that kids face to the Christian market with faith-based books featuring Little Critter.

In Being Thankful, Little Critter isn't getting anything he wants. Gator gets cool brand-new sneakers, while Little Critter is stuck with his boring blue ones. Tiger’s dad has a boat—but not Little Critter’s dad. And even at the ice cream shop, Little Critter can’t enjoy his chocolate ice cream cone because he would rather have a huge ice cream sundae instead. But on a trip to the farm, Grandma shows Little Critter why thankfulness is so important and helps make any situation seem so much happier.

Based on Psalm 107:1, Being Thankful will teach children ages 3 to 6

  • What gratitude is and why we should be thankful for all of God's blessings 
  • How our actions and manners affect others
  • How to share thankfulness with others

Your family will also love and learn from the other Little Critter books in the Inspired Kids series:

  • It's True
  • We All Need Forgiveness
  • You Go First
