## Description

A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar ! One day a tiny cricket is born and meets a big cricket who chirps his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but there is no 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 hello--the hum of a bee, the whirr of a dragonfly, the whisper of a praying mantis. The cricket rubs his wings together each time, but nothing happens, not a sound. Until the day he meets another cricket, a female, and something different happens . . . As children turn the page on this wonderful moment, they are greeted with a surprise--an actual chirp! Full of Eric Carle's gorgeous and lush collage art, a gentle rhythmic text for read-alouds, and a wonder-inducing surprise at the end, The Very Quiet Cricket remains an all-time favorite from one of the true masters of picture-book making. Batteries are replaceable. Please use two 1.5 volt L1131 button cell batteries.

Review: Cute & has sounds at the end - Our toddler is obsessed with the hungry caterpillar so we wanted to try some other Eric Carle books. This one is fun because it build to the end, and then when you open the last page, there are cricket sounds. It’s been a big hit.
Review: Love this Eric Carle book! - I bought this board book for the 4-year-old I babysit. This book has repetion that kids will like, and they can learn about various animals. The 4-year-old likes it when we read this together, though the vocabulary for kids reading on their own would be up to 2nd grade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Eric Carle book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Cricket Understands Boundaries
*by M***Y on March 17, 2026*

In a world that increasingly encourages everyone to share their thoughts at all times, this cricket takes a different approach. I respect that. The story is charming, beautifully illustrated, and delivers its message with warmth and humor. It also serves as a refreshing reminder that not every creature feels the need to make its presence known immediately.
