A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
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."--BooklistBinding Type: Hardcover

Well built, minimal and modern
Color: Moss Green, Size: 9.5in x 7.9in
Bought this to help build routine for my son, rather than spending inordinate amounts of time looking for his things. It’s quality built with a sleek modern look. Very handsome.

Excellent tray
Color: Sand Brown, Size: 9.5in x 7.9in
This is an exceptionally high-quality tray. The design was well thought out and it looks amazing. I keep it in my top dresser drawer to organize extra cards for my wallet, my watch, cufflinks, and other items. I can’t say enough about the high level of quality. It stays in place, has great storage and very reasonably priced I thought.

Luxurious
Color: Sand Brown, Size: 9.5in x 7.9in
Firstly, I was very impressed by the packaging and attention to detail, from the box to the lovely wrapping. I purchased the brown and the tray is beautiful with the two-tone. I love the tree imprint on the inside. It looks very rich and the leather has a great feel to it. I also like that the logo was imprinted at the bottom/back. This would make a great gift. Great product!

Good product
Size: 2.5", Style: Closed Hooks
Strong magnets that stay on wall once applied. Definitely holds the weight that it says it holds on the product. Good size to hold my halters in my barn. Would buy again and I think the price was a little high for this product, but it was worth the purchase.
