This is a list of the works of Mercer Mayer.

The following is a partial list of books that Mercer Mayer has written and/or illustrated. It also includes books and items that are related to Mercer Mayer and his creations (like coloring books, sticker books, lacing cards, toys, etc.).

Little Critter is an anthropomorphic character created by Mercer Mayer. Although it's not specified what species the Little Critter is, he resembles a porcupine. Little Critter first appeared in the 1975 book Just for You. This book is sometimes mistitled Just for Yu because of the childlike mistake on the front cover (see picture).

The following books feature Little Critter.

• Just Shopping with Mom (1989) In the original version (1989 version), Little Critter's mom threatened Little Sister with a spanking/beating. (That is, when Little Sister wanted to buy candy but could not have it.) In reprints (since the mid 1990's), she threatened Little Sister with a time-out. (That is, since reprints --as of the mid 1990's-- replaced spanking/beating references with "time out".) The spanking/beating line was changed to, "Would you like a time out instead?". ^{[citation needed]}
• Just Me and My Mom (1990) The original 1990 version depicted Little Critter in the Native American exhibit wearing a Native American chief costume with the headdress and his mother and Museum guard get mad at him. This image has since been removed in the 2014 reprints.^{[citation needed]}

Most of these are from Disneyland Records and Little Golden Books (usually labeled as a "Little Golden Book & Cassette" or "Little Golden Book & Record"). These are books that came with a word for word audio recording on record (speed = 331⁄3, size = 7") or cassette tape of someone reading the story. They usually included music, sound effects, and original songs too. Sometimes the cassettes were labeled "Record your own story" on the B-side (with the original recording on the A-side). "SEE the pictures HEAR the record READ the book", was a catch phrase that was written on most of these books.
