K-3I Can Read Book series.
During an autumn family outing, the Critters pick apples and pumpkins and go on a hayride (Festival). Little Critter's class goes to Sea Park, where he encounters sharks, manatees, and a good soaking at the whale show (Park). Mayer's trademark illustrations (and the texts themselves) are expectedly bland, but the books are accessible to new readers. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: The Fall Festival and Going to the Sea Park.
