Descriere & specificații

The simple, repeating story of a young cricket weho tries to say hello to the locust, worm, etc. who greet him. He cannot make a sound until the day he meets a very quiet girl cricket. Classic Carle illustrations on heavy stock make this ideal for younger readers. The chirper that sounds when the last page is opened makes an accurate cricket sound.--Children's Book Review Service. Full color. n nA VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar n nOne day a tiny cricket is born and meets a big cricket who chirps his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but there is no sound. The quiet cricket then makes his way into the world, meeting one insect after another, each of whom greets the little cricket with a cheery hello--the hum of a bee, the whirr of a dragonfly, the whisper of a praying mantis. The cricket rubs his wings together each time, but nothing happens, not a sound. Until the day he meets another cricket, a female, and something different happens . . . n nAs children turn the page on this wonderful moment, they are greeted with a surprise--an actual chirp n nFull of Eric Carle's gorgeous and lush collage art, a gentle rhythmic text for read-alouds, and a wonder-inducing surprise at the end, The Very Quiet Cricket remains an all-time favorite from one of the true masters of picture-book making.n nBatteries are replaceable. Please use two 1.5 volt L1131 button cell batteries. n nPraise for The Very Quiet Cricket n nTypical of Carle's style, t
