About this product
Product Information
From bestselling author and illustrator Eric Carle, the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar , comes another classic tale about one very quiet cricket. A perfect gift to share with the child or grandchild in your life. 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. Praise for The Very Quiet Cricket "Typical of Carle's style, the language is simple, with rhythm, repetition, and alliteration to delight young listeners. Painted collage illustrations are lavish and expressive."-- School Library Journal "The text is skillfully shaped; the illustrations convey energy and immediacy."-- Horn Book "As usual, Carle's art is lovely and his story is simple and satisfying."-- Publishers Weekly "Carle's signature style ensures that this is a visual standout, and storywise it's appealing, too....The spare text is structured by repetitive phrasing that will lend itself to read-aloud responses."-- Booklist

Actual cup did not live up to the fine photography. Shipment was very late due to USPS although print shipping label was consistent with a late delivery per printed date. Customer service was very slow in returning three emails from myself, probably due to ISP. Not a satisfactory purchase. I won’t hurt their reviews but I have scored it as neutral because I’m not a vindictive person. I will never purchase from here again. I also didn’t need the liquor sales receipt in the box 🤷🏻♂️

We shipped this cup by the ship by date given to us by eBay. We also were having eBay technical issues where we could not reply to messages. This screenshot was sent to the buyer showing this. Just read our other reviews as this one is false.
