thank you so much for uploading this, my siblings and I would always say "oh, that's nice dear" as our version of "cool story bro" or "who asked." every bit of nostalgia hits so hard.
i'm crying right now, i seen when i was a child so many times, my dad bought it for me and see this again after 25 years is a magical moment for me, thank you so much. 🙏
Amazing to see this again, never thought I would, i was barely a kid when I played this last, and yeah the hotdog bit is crazily memorable, bizarrely today i talked to one of my buddays about hotdogs, maybe subconsciously it made me remember this, so I looked it up and here I am talking to you guys about hotdogs lol, but ye all things considered, this is a wonderful thing for kids, so well made
That's so funny you mention it because the hot dog part triggered some visceral reaction in me too lol! I think as a kid I was grossed out by the concept of eating sandy hot dogs 😂
@@Riachanai ye i know wat you mean, I seem to remember thinking at the time that it must be weird just picking it up off the floor and eating it, but they look so good that i suppose its worth it xd
God this lived in the back recesses of my mind and I couldn’t for the life of me remember the title of this I started looking for this five years ago and didn’t get my answer until about a couple months ago. Now I’m finally watching it months later, after not seeing these visuals for 23 years.
Aww these old Living Books games take me back to childhood in the 90s. I LOVED these games...heck, after a long day, I STILL like watching them! Thanks for the upload, man.
I just bought the book for the nursery I work for, very anxious for it to arrive. And very anxious to read it to the kids! I'm hoping my favourite little lady will like it! I loved Living Books when I was a kid, and this one was always my favourite!
Used to play this for my students at my computer classes for kids way back in 2000...it was a favourite among kids then .. nostalgic after watching this😃
This just solved a mystery I've had for years. One of my earliest memories is playing some kind of computer game, but my recollection of it was so vague I could never remember what the game was. I'm pretty sure it was this!
2:38 Woman: (hears a phone ringing, picking it up) Hello, this is Grandma's answering machine. Little Critter and I went to the beach. Talk to you later! Goodbye!
I first owned and played this game and Little Monster At School, probably at the age of 4, back when my family and I lived in Midland, Texas for 3 years from 1994 to 1997.
I played this as a kid on Windows 3.1. I remember it had Japanese, so I got Windows 98SE on a VM and am loading it up now so I can practice my Japanese. Awesome!
My Dad opened up a computer store in the 90's called Computer CD Warehouse in a shopping center and he had a display computer with Windows 95 and this game was on there. I used to play it all the time, one of my favorite childhood memories.
In addition to "Little Critter" and "Little Monster", you should also know that Mercer Mayer is the author of the "Tiny Tink Tonk Tale" books (including Teep and Beep Go to Sleep, Tink Goes Fishing, Tinka Bakes a Cake, Tuk Takes a Trip, Tonk Gives a Magic Show, and Zoomer Builds a Racing Car). It is unknown what the species these characters are (including Teep and Beep, Tink, Tinka, Tuk, Tonk, and Zoomer). But to my guess, they may be robots. Robots with no mouth. But Teep and Beep and Tuk are the three characters who have visible noses. Only cartoon animals in the books have mouths (including Teep and Beep's tinkybears from "Teep and Beep Go to Sleep" , Tink's dog and the fish from "Tink Goes Fishing", and Tuk's cat and mouse from "Tuk Takes a Trip"). Tink's dog and the fish in "Tink Goes Fishing" and Tuk's cat and mouse in "Tuk Takes a Trip" are anthropomorphic animals from a modern animal (a dog, a fish, a cat, and a mouse). And yes, all of them have a visible mouth. Tink's dog has a mouth. I know that because his dog, he has his tongue out. The fish also has a mouth and he smiles. So does the cat. But none of the Tink Tonk characters have mouths. I am pretty sure though that the Tink Tonk characters are not people, but robots. I have seen other robot characters such as the Nintendo character R.O.B (or "Robotic Operating Buddy"). He is a robot and is one of our Nintendo characters in the Super Smash Bros series. (NOTE: R.O.B's first playable appearance in the Smash series was in Super Smash Bros BRAWL.) He is a character from the R.O.B universe. And R.O.B, he has no mouth either.
9:41 delicious hot dogs. They made the hot dogs look and sound crunchier than real ones here. Cartoon food always looks way more appetizing than live action food.
Bee: (buzzing) Grandma: Oh there's a bee on your hat Little Critter: Yow get it off get it off Grandma: Stop jumping and hold still you'll scare the bee Little Critter: Is he gone is he gone Bee: (buzzes off) Grandma: Yes dear it just flew off Little Critter: Phew

It was very kind of the girl frog to pick up the rabbit's popcorn and give it back to him after he was crying when he dropped it. Only problem was why didn't she doing it in the book adaptation? Instead she just watched Little Critter tickling his grandmother's toes. I felt bad for the rabbit in the book version. Not only did he lose his popcorn, but he had no friends to cheer him up and was ignored altogether.
Another awesome video of another great Living Books game! Btw my friend, you missed 3 clickables on page 5. 1. Antenna on the radio moves up and down. 2. Buttons on the side of the radio play a samba tune. 3. Speaker on the radio gives a weather report and then plays the jingle you hear on page 1.
They had this game on one of the computers in the local library. I remember getting this sort of bittersweet melancholy feeling at the end when they’re on the bus at night
The hotdog part on the beach is the most memorable part to me
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Something about that scraping sand off the hot dog just brought me straight back
It's the fence rolling down, making Grandma go "Ooh!" for me ❤
Sameeee! We all must loved the same childhood I swear.😂
@@BethGoth15 you could never just do it once!
Me too😂
thank you so much for uploading this, my siblings and I would always say "oh, that's nice dear" as our version of "cool story bro" or "who asked." every bit of nostalgia hits so hard.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!
Their house was my favorite part because I always got this cozy countryside vibe just by looking at it. I've adored rural areas my whole life.
i'm crying right now, i seen when i was a child so many times, my dad bought it for me and see this again after 25 years is a magical moment for me, thank you so much. 🙏
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
This is the very first Living Books game I ever played! This takes me all the way back to my preschool days!

This hit me so hard. I used to play this when I was little, all the Little Critter Living Books.
I'll never forget this game.
Me neither!
I didn't, either!
Damn... takes me way back..
23:57 I remember playing this and making the Seagull angry. I’m like, “Geez Seagull. Calm down.”😂
God this lived in the back recesses of my mind and I couldn’t for the life of me remember the title of this I started looking for this five years ago and didn’t get my answer until about a couple months ago. Now I’m finally watching it months later, after not seeing these visuals for 23 years.
I'm happy you finally found it and it wasn't all your imagination!
I used to play this. Now I play it with my daughter, she loves it 😊
Nice, enjoy!

"What do you see under there?"
"Rrish!"
My dad and I quote this quite regularly. Thank you for the memories!

This is amazing. I can still hum along to the music.

"Nice hat, Mom!"

4:42 I loved the bus part
I remember Playing those games quite a bit My grandma was my favorite. Such nostalgia
I use to love this as a kid! I will always remember the singing roses towards the end!
Enjoy!
Thank you! ❤
So weird seeing this again as an adult. I didn't even speak english when I played this as a kid.
Same! So i just mimiced the sounds of the words but didnt know the shit i was saying XD
Neither did I much. Nobody even did a very good job teaching me the letters of the alphabet and the sounds each of them made at this time!
I first owned and played this game and Little Monster At School, probably at the age of 4, back when my family and I lived in Midland, Texas for 3 years from 1994 to 1997.
I had those two too!! Holy crap!
This gives me so much nostalgia. I played this with my twin sister in the 90s. Thanks for uploading this!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!
I played this as a kid on Windows 3.1. I remember it had Japanese, so I got Windows 98SE on a VM and am loading it up now so I can practice my Japanese. Awesome!
I never could stay at the beach until dark
I have been looking for this game for ages, I used to play this after school with my friends lots 😄😄
6:30 😂! He sounds like Kenny McCormick!
My Dad opened up a computer store in the 90's called Computer CD Warehouse in a shopping center and he had a display computer with Windows 95 and this game was on there. I used to play it all the time, one of my favorite childhood memories.
Nostalgia right there!
Wow so random I found this game I use to play in the 90s. And I grew up in Florida so this was always special to me.
I remember getting mind blown when I first noticed the Japanese and Spanish dubbed options.😆
I like how the kite gets caught on not.
This is my first living book story when I was little
Grandma: (Laughing) Don't you tickle me again. 28:02
3:00 Grandma: Are you excited?
1:27 Little Critter: When is the bus coming, Grandma?
26:09 - tickling!
27:50 - tickling again!

This is also the first Living Books game
the Game that started it all!
These books taught me how to read omg why am I crying😭
Bee: (buzzing)
Grandma: Oh there's a bee on your hat
Little Critter: Yow get it off get it off
Grandma: Stop jumping and hold still you'll scare the bee
Little Critter: Is he gone is he gone
Bee: (buzzes off)
Grandma: Yes dear it just flew off
Little Critter: Phew
20:29 this is my favorite part.
I enjoy playing this CD ROM on the computer in the early 2000's when I was in elementary school
I remember the game as kid from the public library before old games aren't here anymore.
I Play this so many times when I was little during school
Same here I was in elementary school in the early 2000's
I played this game too.
It was the little worm at 8:07 that stuck in my mind the most. That used to crack up my brother and me so hard.
There goes a sailboat. 6:18
I fondly remember playing this game as a child. I miss the creativity of the ‘90s. :’)
15:37 any saxophonists who play this little ditty just for old time sake?:)

The music playing from Grandma's Handbag.
Looks like NASCAR to me. 24:35
Don't give a f, I secretly wanna play this game, memories of this, is this available still
Nostalgia ;)
yeah man just google "just grandma and me" and you can play it on the internet archive
I used to play that computer game lot when I was a little girl.
Main Theme. 33:54
I like the radio stations in Southern California. 19:51
35:05
My favorite!
Vinny played this one, and sadly, he didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped for because I loved Living Books as a toddler.
The chat, though. 😂
I like swimming 🏊🏻♀️ in the sea 🌊 (but not too far away)
Oh I miss this so much!!!!
Stellaluna was in this game too, right?
It's my first Living Books game.
20:51 Whee! Hit it!!!

11:34 was always my favorite part 😂

This part is one of my favs. 27:23

7:02 No it isn't. I hate beautiful days, summer and sunshine.
I rather like unsettle days, wet days, cold days, autumn and winter.
the only thing I remember about this was the hotdogs LOL
This is the version I had as a kid and I miss it😢
On Page 7, Critter's Grandma gave him a kiss makes him forget the Cold in the Sea.
Another awesome video of another great Living Books game! Btw my friend, you missed 3 clickables on page 5.
1. Antenna on the radio moves up and down.
2. Buttons on the side of the radio play a samba tune.
3. Speaker on the radio gives a weather report and then plays the jingle you hear on page 1.
Thanks for the tips!
@@DangerousBoy: Of course my friend!
The roses really scared me when I was a kid
They had this game on one of the computers in the local library. I remember getting this sort of bittersweet melancholy feeling at the end when they’re on the bus at night
It was like even as a child I was so aware of how fast time passes
Great story wasn't it?
It was!
They're playing Tennis. 8:28
And the reason why those hotdogs fell in the sand was because someone left their ball on the ground, where people would slip on it, as seen.
I miss playing this game when I was a little girl
Can you do the rest of the living books?
I tried but some living books did not work properly on my pc, and the Dr. Seuss versions got straight up copyright striked 😣
@@DangerousBoy What about The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham & Dr. Seuss' ABC?
This is one of my favorite living books
As a kid I thought the sandy Hot Dogs seemed so appetizing.

most times I’ll do my hobbies with themes anywhere I’d want and anytime I like
and sometimes i often watch clips of them (RUclips videos) somehow atop my pics
So i can not only multitask anything i want; but also do my creative/imaginative play
I love that game
