This is a wonderful book for small children. My daughter loved it when she was small and I can't wait to read it to my infant son. Fun and engaging!!Book Review: Gorgeous, and with a surprise at the end
Summary: 5 Stars
Next to the Hungry Caterpillar this is one of our favourite books in the house, and a favourite Carle book. We have this in board book as we have had this book since my kids were babies. It is still popular as it is really also an early reader - recognising various animals in the garden (although not all are relevant)
This is about a cricket who makes no sound, he meets various other insects in his quest to find out what sound he makes, but he can't do anything.
Finally on the last page he meets another cricket, and makes a sound. The nice surprise is that there is a sensor and when you open that page the sensor sets off a lovely cricket sound (doesn't it remind you of summer nights)
Lovely illustrations, a bit of a quizzical looking cricket, but cut and appealing. Nice use of language and a simple idea which is easily followed through.
Book Review: Charming all around
Summary: 5 Stars
A love story for babies all the way up to adults, this sweet coming-of-age cricket story is a must for every home. The text is wonderful--makes you whisper along--and leads up to a simple sound effect at the end which is simply stunning. Probably our most treasured board book. Buy this, one of Carle's best, along with The Grouchy Ladybug and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Book Review: Battery died right away

Bought this for a friend because it sounded great at the store. Once I got it home, the cricket barely made any noise at all! Disappointing.
