简介：
A cricket is born who cannot talk! A bigger cricket welcomes himto the world, then a locust, a cicada, and many other insects, buteach time the tiny cricket rubs his wings together in vain: nosound emerges. In the end, however, he meets another quiet cricket,and manages to find his "voice." Children will love the repetitivetext as they meet a steady parade of new creatures (including a"spittlebug, slurping in a sea of froth"); and of course they'lldelight in the happy ending. This is one of a series of large (11.5by 8.5 inches) format Eric Carle books with a mechanical twist: inthis case, the quiet cricket bursts into (surprisingly authentic)electronic song as you turn the last page. (The battery isreplaceable.) An amusement for the ears, but most of all--as ever,with Carle--a feast for the eyes. The colorful cut-paperillustrations are simply gorgeous, drawing you in even on thehundredth reading. (And there will be a hundredth reading, followedby many more.) (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr --This textrefers to the Hardcover edition.
