At Little One Books, we match each product to what we believe is the youngest appropriate age group. However, our carefully selected items can and will be used for many years to come. As children develop they often find pleasure in revisiting illustrations from old favorites, and eventually learning to read them on their own.
I had a hard time choosing just one book to review, but when I saw The Very Quiet Cricket
by Eric Carle I knew it was the one. Jayden loves The Very Lonely Firefly and The Very Hungry Caterpillar books that we already own by Eric Carle. And Jayden has been really into bugs lately. We received our book very quickly and packaged nicely. It is a very nice large size hardcover book with a dust jacket. Jayden immediately wanted to read it. I think that first day he wanted to read it like 5 or more times. He wanted to take it with us to the library for story time. I had to convince him to leave it at home and we can read it again later.
A little about the book itself: The simple, repeating story of a young cricket who tries to say hello to the locust, worm, and other animals 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. Jayden loves to read the story and name all of the bugs in the story. He likes to leave the last page open for a little longer and listen to the cricket chirp sound. He tells me, "hear it mama, you hear it." He has even opened the book and tried reading it himself and to his stuffed monkey.
