Quick as a Cricket

Quick as a Cricket, by Audrey Wood

Quick as a Cricket is another short children's book done by the power duo of Don and Audrey Wood. In this selection, a little boy describes different characteristics of himself in comparison with different animals and creatures. He does the same actions that the animals he is comparing himself to, and the story ends with pulling all of the characteristics together to make him as an individual.

I love this book. This definitely goes with the pattern that I have established, in that I love all books by both Don and Audrey. Together, something in their stories comes to life. Not just for children, but for adults as well. I think that this is a great book to read to kindergarteners to make them aware of how special and unique they are, and how all of their quirky qualities are what make us who we are!
