				Mercer Mayer's very popular Little Critter stars in a picture   book about feeling angry. With minimal text and funny illustrations to spell out   every new situation, the book shows the Critter family saying no to everything   Little Critter wants to do. He can't keep frogs in the tub. He can't help paint   the house. Finally, mad at the world, Little Critter announces he will run away.   When pals come by and ask him to come and play baseball, our young hero's mood   quickly changes. He grabs his bat and heads off for the game, telling himself he   can run away another day if he is still so mad....

				I wish I lived a thousand years ago. There would be beautiful castles,  kings and queens, good knights, bad knights, fair ladies in danger, evil dragons  from the mountains, and a giant troll that roars and eats anything.  What kid hasn’t dreamed of living in fairy-tale times—hasn’t imagined  himself as the bravest knight in all the land (or at least the knight’s faithful  squire). As he has done in his celebrated There’s a Nightmare in My Closet  and its follow-ups, Mercer Mayer brings childhood fantasy hilariously  to life here. Bad knights are forced to pick flowers for the king, a day’s  adventure involves rescuing a cat from a tree, and our hero boldly fights a  fire-breathing dragon using his trusty slingshot.   This silly charmer, originally published in 1968 as  Terrible Troll, has been entirely redone in vivid color. It’s a  rediscovered gem with timeless appeal....
