Help me find a Mercer Mayer memory game!

December 5, 2011 8:21 AM

I'm looking for a particular image from a Mercer Mayer activity book that was significant in my wife's childhood. Mercer Mayer fans, I need you!

Specifically, I'm looking for the "Take a break, it's snack time!" card that was part of a tear-out, Memory-style game included in a Mayer activity book. I don't know which book, don't know exactly when it was published, basically don't know anything other than that. Ideally I'd love a quality scan of this specific card, but if you can identify the book it was in, that would be great as well.

Thanks!

Are you certain it's Mercer Mayer? Richard Scarry had a Best Rainy Day Book Ever that had lots of things to punch out and play with, from the same time period and their illustration styles are not dissimilar.

If it is Mercer Mayer, what does the card look like? Is the Little Critter character on it?

Response by poster: noxetlux: I've never actually laid eyes on the card itself so I don't know if Little Critter is on it.

jamaro: Thanks! I'm working the Gator Cleans house angle right now. Lots of used copies out there!

Response by poster: Not that anyone else is paying attention, but Gator Cleans Hose is not the answer. It's cute, but it's not an activity book at all.

Back to the searching!

Response by poster: Oops. Or I got the wrong edition. Either way.
