I have read the books of little critter but did you know little critter wasn't always fully dressed like he is now. Even though he has fur and is considered a human animal he looks so cute without clothes on and Let's look at when he was let's say fur naked.
When the book Just for you came out in 1975 little critter had no clothes on and no shoes on but his mother was fully dressed. Also in Merry Christmas Mom and Dad little critter was still undressed even in Play with me and even in Little sisters bracelet his little sister critter was also undressed.
In the later books when he had clothes on you can see he took off his clothes like in Just go to bed and in the book Just me in the tub Little critter takes off his clothes to take a bath. Also in Just me and my puppy, little critters raccoon friend he bought the dog from didn't have any clothes on. And in Just grandma and me Little critters shorts fell down while blowing up a sea horse. I don't know why his critter mother let him go around the house and go shopping fur naked. But I find it very embarrassing. But it saved his mother the trouble of doing laundry. But kids don't do what little critter did and always wear clothes when you go outside.
Now let's look at why he's half dressed in some of the books. Even though Mercer Mayer added clothes on him he wasn't always fully dressed like he is now in fact in the earlier books he only wore a shirt but he had no pants on or shoes so he walked around barefoot his furry bottom showing. In the book When I get bigger he starts out fur naked but he put a shirt on but forgot to put pants on except in some pictures when he goes shopping. In I just Forgot little critter remembered to put on a raincoat but he not only forgot to wear boots but he forgot his pants as well. He was also half dressed in Jack and the Beanstalk, and Hansel and Gretel. His little critter sister was half dressed in The new potty when she had to use the restroom. Also little critters friends in I was so mad only wore shirts but no pants or shoes. And in Just grandma and me you'll see the little critter animals at the beach that don't have pants or shorts on. Even though he put a shirt on it I find it silly he doesn't wear pants and cute because you can see his hind legs and the furry stomach. So his mother only has to clean his shirts in the laundry. But kids always have a shirt and pants on when you go outside.
Today Little Critter is fully dressed but I miss when he didn't have clothes on. But it was a good thing his critter mother or father never spanked him even when he was undressed in public.
That's my thought on the little critter books. Note these pictures are by Mercer Mayer and are copyrighted.
