From Publishers Weekly
A small cricket hatches “one warm day,” and the other insects greethim. Though the little guy wants very much to respond, nothinghappens when he rubs his wings together. Finally, as night falls,he spies another cricket and attempts to greet her. “And this time. . . he chirped the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard.”As usual, Carle’s art is lovely and his story is simple andsatisfying. But this book has something The Very Hungry Caterpillarand The Very Busy Spider didn’t have: an electronic chirpingmechanism activated by the turning of the last page. Though thesurprisingly realistic noise may get on parents’ nerves, it willcertainly intrigue and entertain its intended audience. Ages3-6.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1– Carle has created yet another celebration ofnature. Ironically, it relies upon a high-tech gadget. When a babycricket is born, a big cricket rubs his wings together to chirp”Welcome!” The little cricket attempts to reply, but there is nosound. On each double-page spread, the young creature encounters avariety of insects, but is unable to produce a sound to respond totheir greetings. Finally, he comes upon another cricket, rubs hiswings together, and chirps. Readers are then rewarded with amechanically produced cricket’s “chirp.” Typical of Carle’s style,the language is simple, with rhythm, repetition, and alliterationto delight young listeners. Painted collage illustrations arelavish and expressive. Unfortunately, while Carle takes fulladvantage of the opportunity presented by technology, he does so atthe expense of the story. Although the attempt to provide amultisensory experience is an admirable one, he relies too heavilyon gimmickry. The sound produced is not so much enhancement for theplot as it is essential to the resolution. Without it, the finaloutcome is flat and anticlimactic, and the text becomes tediouslyrepetitive. Although the publisher promises that the “cricket’schirp will have a long life” if the book is closed after reading,it is difficult to gauge its life span in library circulation. Thebook is sure to attract a large audience, but readers who come toit after the novelty has worn off will be disappointed. –StarrLaTronica, North Berkeley Library, CA
