Murray, Carol Cricket in the Thicket, illustrated by Melissa
Sweet. Henry Holt (Macmillan),
2017. $18.
Carol has paired charming rhymes with short facts about
several of the different bugs that we encounter on almost a daily basis. Sweet’s illustrations are a just-right
companion to the text – I tried to imagine this with photographs, but decided I
preferred the collage-like illustrations, which would be fun to emulate and
have have students write new poems of their own about other bugs.
EL (K-3), EL – ADVISABLE.
