      About This Book

      One day, a little cricket is born and meets a big cricket who chirps his welcome. But the little cricket cannot make a sound. The cricket meets many insects, but it isn't until he meets a beautiful female cricket that he can finally chirp "hello!"

      Excerpt:
      Hello! whispered a praying mantis,
      scraping its huge front legs together.
      The little cricket wanted to answer,
      so he rubbed his wings together.
      But nothing happened. Not a sound.
