Little Critter takes young readers on a friendly tour of his own body. In a chatty tone he explains the functions of all the body parts from mouth, eyes, and ears to arms, hands, and legs. He also mentions one or two things that are special to critters, such as fur, which keeps him warm (although readers may be able to make the connection with the hair on their own heads, which does, after all, keep them warm). This is a low key introduction...
