Quick as a Cricket Audrey Wood Don Wood Books

This is a review for the BOARD BOOK only, I love this book and the story for kids, and I have purchased it several times for gifts. This board book version is just wrong- what is supposed to be the first page and last page of the story are actually the front and back covers of the board book! Also I find some of the beauty of the illustrations are not accurately reproduced in the board book version. I am getting a refund and ordering the hardback version. It's a nice book, a fun read for little ones with beautiful illustrations - but not in this board book format. Stay away from this!

Quick as a Cricket Audrey Wood Don Wood Books Reviews

I used Quick as a Cricket with my Kindergarten Creative Movement class. They loved the movement inherent in the story and we had lots to talk about after we finished exploring the story and illustrations through movement. This book is fun and beautiful and offers lots of potential for Early Childhood classroom use.
Yes. This had been a favorite of both sons when they were little. I bought it as a gift, and again it is a favorite book. The illustrations are spectacular. The closing message, "put it all together, and you've got me" is a perfect ending to a perfect book for little ones to explore first pictures and then words.
This is the book I reached for whenever I felt like I needed to deliver this message to my son People can feel all kinds of things. Sometimes you can feel angry. you can be scared. These are all okay parts of a spectrum of who you are. And you do not need to feel shame about it. You can be all of those things and they do not negate you. You can be "as mean as a shark" and then go back to being "weak as a kitten" no matter what you feel, you can still be you and I love you unconditionally. At the end when the boy says "put it all together... ME!" I know that I've brought us to a place where we can accept ourselves more. I often pair this with the book called I love you because you're you (i think thats what it is called - the mom fox and her son go through all kinds of things but she loves him no matter what)
One of best picture books for children ever. My children loved it, and now my Grandchildren can experience it as well. This makes a great bedtime story book for very young babies to early readers. The prose is well written with some rhyming without being tooo much. For the very awake or strong willed child, we have found that reading at bedtime is an important part of the bedtime ritual that helps some children who have difficulty transitioning from daytime to nighttime.
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.
This is a wonderful story to read to a child. I got my first copy 30+ years ago. The graphics and color quality of that book was excellent. Looking at this version is like looking at a washed out poor copy machine version. Very disappointed to see such poor reprinting quality. 3 stars for story, 0 stars on text/color quality.
I love this story, and the illustrations. It was one of my son's favorites, so i bought this hard board version for my grandson. I was very disappointed to find that the first page of the story is also the cover, which interrupts the rhyming. But mostly disappointed that the last page of the book (which serves as the back cover), does NOT contain all the illustrations in the original book. I loved how you can spot all the animals in the little boy's room in the original on the final page...but the room is not shown on this final page/back cover....all to save a bit of cost, I suppose, but really ruins the ending of this story. Next time i will not opt for this edition and do not recommend this particular edition of this charming story to anyone!
