"Dad takes Little Critter and his sister to the toy store. Little Sister knows exactly what she wants and goes after it; Little Critter can't make up his mind (and when he does, it has disastrous consequences). Another Little Critter book that deals with frustration and anger, and I have yet to decide if the ones that treat this more realistically than as a problem-solving exercise are better or worse than the problem-solving books (most of which come with too-easy solutions in the final pages). Likable enough, though I wouldn't call it anything special; if your kid is already a Little Critter fan go for it, otherwise give it a run-through at the library." -- Amazon.ca

Father Critter takes his children to the toy store. The dialogue used while they were in the store includes things such as alliteration and onomatopoeia. The general idea of the story is that Brother Critter wanted a fancy toy, but it ended up breaking. Father took him back and replaced the toy with a better toy that worked for his son. The message is that it is just a toy, but it shows how the dad loves his son and wants to show him that by helping him replace what was broken. ( )
