Review: Lovely book. - Beautiful illustration and wonderful Story!
Review: Beautiful illustrations - I have purchased this book for several of my preschool-primary elementary-grandchildren. Older siblings and adults like it, too. The illustrations are beautiful images of animals , each naming a common emotion that children experience. It opens up space to name, feel, and talk about feelings. It is one of the best-illustrated children's book I have found. I never tire of reading it to the kids.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A definite must for little ones!!
*by G***I on January 4, 2011*

This book, "Quick as a Cricket" is a MUST, along with The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear also by Don & Audrey Woods. These titles have been in my library since my children were toddlers (now in their late 20's), and I buy them as a baby gift anytime a friend is having their first baby or grand baby. Both titles absolutely captivate the children, from as early as 10 mos on. (You have to get the hard copy, the pictures are GORGEOUS, so you'll want the full effect). Without fail I have heard back from everyone that these are their child's favorite books (with "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear" coming in first). These even stop my now 13 1/2 mos old grand son in his tracks (who stops for nothing and has been on the RUN ever since he started walking at 9mos) - He even gets these books out himself and plops down in mom's lap to read - my daughter, even though these were her favorites too, is absolutely AMAZED at the effect they have on her little Hurricane! You can't go wrong with either of these books! Remember to get the hard copies, not the board books or paperbacks.
