Little Critter is an anthropomorphic animal character created by Mercer Mayer. According to the official website, his animal species is a Little Critter. Little Critter first appeared in the 1975 book Just for You. This book is sometimes mis-titled Just for Yu because of the childlike mistake on the front cover (see picture). He has since been featured in over 200 books. Mercer Mayer is still releasing books, CD-Roms (including the Living Books series), toys, and more featuring Little Critter.
