3. Just Me and Mercer Mayer

4. Even if you are just… Mercer Mayer has a book…

5. JUST FOR YOU! Mercer Mayer has written over 300 books! All his ideas for his books come from when he was a kid or watching his own kids and grandkids grow up! His family lived all over the United States because his father was in the Navy. The last place was in Honolulu, Hawaii! If Mercer wasn’t reading picture books when he was a kid, he was hunting for snakes and lizards in nearby swamps or woods.
