    MERCER MAYER began writing and illustrating children’s books in 1966, and since that time, he has published over 300 titles. Open almost any of the award-winning author/illustrator’s books, and out may pop dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters.

    “Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid,” says Mercer. “Now that I’m a big kid, I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always help remind me of what it was like.”

    Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mercer Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps near his home. During his teenage years, he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies, he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate a collection of children’s books, reflecting many of the adventures he experienced as a child.

    In 2007, Mr. Mayer was commissioned by Laura Bush to create the artwork used for the National Book Festival held on September 29 on the National Mall. He was an honored guest to the event, giving a demonstration and autographing hundreds of books for fans who attended.

Under the Radar
5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Cute and Practical
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 26, 2020
This book was a huge help in preparing our family's little one for her new sibling. It's all about the new baby so can be for either an incoming Brother or Sister. It is humorous with a little mouse buddy that accompanies all the action and we had fun laughing and talking about each page.

When the baby was born, our little one was quoting things from the book about burping and being quiet...and we could tell that when she had repeatedly asked for the books to be read, she had been taking it all in. It has a nice vibe throughout where is shows how the sibling has an important role, but also that the baby has needs the sibling needs to be aware of.
