Quick as a Cricket (Child's Play library)

by Audrey Wood

Don Wood (Illustrator)

A celebration of a child's growing self awareness, and a prime example of how books can contribute to this. Whether brave or shy, strong or weak, in the end the young boy celebrates all different, apparently contradictory parts of himself.

Here's another one that is really cute and valuable. Great for descriptions, learning different animals and their characteristic adjectives. Might have to add another one to the buy list...

I didn't really enjoy the story but I like the pictures when I was younger.
