Description

Critters Cry Too is a fully illustrated (32 page) picture book that explains addiction and feelings associated with this disease in a way that children can easily have in mind. K-5

    This book is a wonderfully created resource that engages children with illustration and humor in order to provide an explanation for a difficult topic that such a lot of children are faced with. The writer tackles difficult feelings and answers questions that would surely arise in a young person’s mind who loves someone who is addicted: Is this my fault? Why does _______ act like this? Does ______ love me?
    The story encourages children to open up and discuss feelings, as the main character finds this is the only way to stop from being ‘madsad’. Very creative and inspirational material, ideal for those working closely with children in this situation.

Children’s/Emotions/Addiction K-5

Book Description:

Critters didn’t need much to be happy, a good game of critterball and doing what they loved to do most, talking to one another, used to be on a regular basis enough. But when Whateveritwas (what Critters referred to as cookies) came, all of that changed. Some Critters stopped talking, stopped playing and stopped being themselves.
All they wanted used to be more Whateveritwas.
With a broken heart, Calvin had to do something but there wasn’t much of anything he could do. Following good advice from an obnoxious insect friend and having a loved one to talk to, Calvin learns how to find himself even even as probably the most Critters he loves were still lost.
