  • Timeless Classic, Kid-Approved
This remains a beloved children's book for good reason. Our 2 and 4 year old love its simple, rhythmic text and charming illustrations. It's fun to read aloud and sparks the imagination. A must-have for any child's library.

  • 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. ... show more

  • Don and Audrey Wood are the best
Bought this because I grew up with King Bidgood and my son is already a voracious “reader” at 2yo. The book explores different feelings and emotions, has a great rhythm and rhyme, and beautiful illustrations.

  • A definite must for little ones!!
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. ... show more

  • Great book
2 yr old LOVES this book. We have read it what seems like a million times (more than 10 times a day some days) and he repeats the story all the time. He loves to roar loud like a lion lol Not to mention the grammatical/linguistic lessons it provides and is super simple at the same time. Highly recommended!! ... show more

  • Great Product
I bought this for my Grandniece. My daughter read it when she was young and keeps her book to this very day. I'm sure she will enjoy it. The illustrations are fabulous. The point of the book is appropriate.

  • Quick as a Cricket builds confidence
I spent many hours reading this book to my son. The book is full of wonderful illustrations of animals. But, the content of the book feeds a child's imagination and confidence, page after page is full of statements such as " I am as big as a whale. I am as sly as a fox," etc. You cannot help but smile each time as you read it and see a child's face explode with the possibilities of life. My recent purchase was for a baby shower gift, where guests were asked to bring a favorite book to help establish the new little one's library. I didn't hesitate or think about any other titles. This book should be a staple for any child and will bring hours of enjoyment. Also, the type is large enough that it is easy for a child to recognize letters and for a grandparent to easily read. ... show more
