Bookroo's summary

Little Critter faces a day of forgetfulness, from leaving his lunchbox behind to skipping soap in the bath. As he stumbles through his routine, will he learn responsibility? Join his humorous journey and see if he can master the art of remembering.

From the publisher

Funny, likable Little Critter is at it again. In this appealing picture book about Mercer Mayer’s popular character, Little Critter struggles to remember what he is supposed to do each day. On rainy days he remembers his raincoat but forgets his boots. On school days he gets to school on time but forgets his lunchbox. At home he takes a bath but forgets to use soap. Poor Little Critter! He tries hard but hasn’t quite mastered the art of how to get through the day. Every young reader will understand Little Critter’s confusion and laugh with him from start to finish.
