The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle<\/a> \"\"by Eric Carle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very small cricket tries again and again to make a chirp by rubbing his wings together as other insects pass him, making their unique sounds and movements. Each page has an insect and a verb describing his behavior. Each page also ends with “the little cricket wanted to answer so he rubbed his wings together, but nothing happened. Not a sound.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re reading the story make sure you have your child pretend to rub their wings (arms) together to help him make a sound… they will love it and will be very surprised at the end when it really works!<\/p>\n\n\n

Did you know it’s a Love Story? Eric Carle shares on his blog<\/a> “My book The Very Quiet Cricket is really a love story. For when they find each other, “…he chirped the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have a copy of The Very Quiet Cricket<\/em> here’s a version of the story for your child to enjoy and then join the buggy fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
