The Very Quiet Cricket (Hardcover)

One day a tiny cricket is born and is greeted to the world by a big cricket who chirps out his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but cannot make a 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, audible hello--the hum of a bee, the whirr of a dragonfly, the whisper of a praying mantis. The cricket rubs his wings together to return their greetings each time, but nothing happens, not a sound. Until the day he meets another cricket, a female, and something different happens...

As readers turn the page on this wonderful moment, they are greeted with a surprise--an actual chirp!
