About this ebook

Join Little Critter® as he learns why it’s important to be kind and treat others as you want to be treated instead of selfishly taking the first turn.

Since 1975, Mercer Mayer has been writing and illustrating stories about Little Critter and the antics he stumbles into while growing up. Tommy Nelson is thrilled to bring this beloved brand that humorously portrays social and emotional issues that kids face to the Christian market with faith-based books featuring Little Critter.

In You Go First, Litter Critter loves being first?even if it hurts his family and friends. After several mistakes, Little Critter learns that the secret to getting along is treating others the way he wants to be treated?which, in Little Critter’s case, means letting someone else be first.

Based on Matthew 7:12, You Go First will teach children ages 2 to 6

God’s reminder to “love others as yourself”
How our actions and manners affect others
What it means to put other’s needs first

Your family will also love and learn from the other Little Critter books in the Inspired Kids series:

It’s True
We All Need Forgiveness
Being Thankful

Don't purchase unless you like a little God talk in your children's books. There are several pages where God and the Bible are referenced. We've read some other Little Critter titles, and all except this one have been secular friendly.

Interesting, good and clear on educating little ones on importance of considering others. The pictures are clear and bright. keeps the children captivated. The bible concept in the story is also very good and to the point. my daughter said "you should get more of those ones". Thank you. Blessings.
