There is not much to say about this short-story other than it was beautiful. My daughter truly enjoyed this story and it held her attention through the crickets you could make sing. I enjoyed watching her light up as we explained to her what the story was about and how wonderful this world actually is.

This was one of Eyrran’s favorites. She loved clicking. I love reading it. It is adorable!

This is a fun little book that DS still likes 2 years after getting it from his Nana and Papa. It rhymes (+), it is interactive (+) and is about learning and trying new things (+). So a win-win-win. After just seeing there is another version called Little Cricket's Song of Praise, I think I'll check that one out as I'm sure if my mom had seen it, she would've gotten that one.

This is a fun one! While you read the happy little rhymes, your child gets to click on a cricket to their heart's content. Best thing is: there's two crickets in case you have two cricket-clicking little ones.

Board book about little cricket. The crickets actually click to make "music" during the story. Kids love this one.
