Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2AA general introduction to the physical characteristics, life cycle, and behavior of this insect. The text is clear and simple but the sentences are occasionally choppy. The full-page, rainbow-hued watercolors are accurately rendered and do a good job of representing the text. Readers' curiosity is sure to be piqued by the inclusion of interesting facts (a cricket's chirping can be used to determine the temperature outside). A final section offers suggestions for making a model, jumping like a cricket, and playing a "Do You Know?" game. An attractive title that will enhance nature collections.AMichele Snyder, Chappaqua Public Library, NY

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-3, younger for reading aloud. Although the book begins with crickets chirping on a summer evening, its scope quickly broadens. Readers will not only learn the purpose of the chirping sound, who makes it, and how it is made, they will also discover a great deal more about the anatomy, life cycle, habits, and habitats of crickets. Clear and detailed, the ink-and-watercolor artwork is often visually striking as well as educationally sound. The book concludes with tips on catching and observing a cricket, directions for telling the temperature by the speed of the chirps, and instructions for a couple of cricket-related activities. A well-rounded introduction. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
