the very quiet cricket
Review date: 2009-10-06 Rating: 6 out of 10
The story line is very similar to "the very Hungry Catepillar" but is unfortunately not as brilliant, therefore this book will always lack in greatness.
Lovely story

I loved this story, it is really lovely and has the added bonus of having a sound effect at the end. The children in my class loved exploring it and we used it in a story tray re creating the other insects that the cricket came into contact with.
A beautifully illustrated children's early reading book.

The Very Quiet Cricket is one of a number of books by the illustrator Eric Call, which tells the tale of growth and passage of time in the life of an insect, other books include, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Very Lonely Firefly. Like the other books The Very Quiet Cricket is beautifully illustrated throughout, and keeps the surprise until the very end, when we turn the final page to hear the soft chirp of the cricket.The story is held together by the employment of the same pattern throughout, greeting from another insect in his own manner, and then the cricket's desire and failure to return a reply. This scheme allows the child to predict the story and join in, and as such feel an active part in the telling of the tale. The child can also see the growth of the cricket throughout the story, from the tiny hatchling at sunrise to the full-grown cricket in the moonlight, with each page we can see him grow larger on the page with the passage of time.
It is certainly a book which is appealing enough to be read over and over again, and indeed with familiarity with the story will possibly make it even more attractive, particularly anticipating the cricket's chirp at the end.
