"Quick As A Cricket" is about a little boy who describes himself as all different kinds of animals. He chooses a characteristic from each animal that he relates too. It is a great book for children who are learning about their animals. It also has a good rhyming scheme for children who are just learning how to read.

I really like this book. The pictures are amazing and very captivating. It teaches character and would be good for grades 2nd and under. You also learn about different animals. It would be good to ask students words that describe themselves after reading this book.

"I'm as quick as a cricket, I'm as slow as a snail. I'm as small as an ant, I'm as large as a whale." Parents and teachers choose this big square book for the message of self-confidence. Toddlers love it for the singsong phrases and Don Wood's large, silly, endearing illustrations, which feature a boy mimicking different kinds of animals. At one point, he is pictured sipping tea formally with a fancy poodle ("I'm as tame as a poodle") and on the very next page he is swinging through trees ("I'm as wild as a chimp"). Whether brave or shy, strong or weak, in the end the young boy celebrates all different, apparently contradictory parts of himself. With a confident grin, he lifts his arms up and declares, "Put it all together and you've got ME!" (Baby to age 6)
