Rendition During Books Quick as a Cricket

This book has the most fabulous illustrations that depict the adjectives described in the book. This book is all similes that are comparing adjectives to animals. This book can be read a very expressive way that helps to describe the adjectives even more. I just can’t get over the illustrations, they are so descriptive and colorful, and they can be found on the author’s website.

Learning Experience- I would use these printable illustrations and glue them onto a Popsicle stick. I would hand them out to children in the class right before I read the book and as went through the pages of the book I would the child with that prop stand up and depict with their voice and body the adjective.

Discuss Of Books Quick as a Cricket

A wonderful short text with beautiful rhymes but AWFUL illustrations!!

"Quick as a Cricket" is full of wonderful detailed illustrations. This is a very basic "all about me book" that young readers would love. The only character in this book is a young boy that describes himself using a variety of animals. For example he states, "I'm as loud as a lion." This book would be great to teach comparisons using similes. Also, this book would be a great model for the students to write their own "all about me" book.

This is a good book that can be used for very young children. Each page has a different animal as well as a description using an adjective of what that animal might be thought of being. It has great colorful illustrations that could hold the attention of the children.An activity I would do is after reading and talking about the book, the children could draw a picture about themselves using different materials and write a describe that states what they feel are their capabilities or abilities.

I have read this book approximately 1 Million times to my children and somehow I find it just as wonderful now as I did the first read. It is beautifully illustrated, the wording is simple and powerful. It (subtly) teaches vocabulary and has a lovely, positive ending that sometimes still makes me tear up. You can (and I have!) look at the illustrations for hours and still find little things hidden. Pick this one up for your young ones and then, when they are cool and 8, make them read it to you

Great book of acceptance because it gives the characteristics of different animals, from slow, happy, weak etc. in a positive way. It compares and highlights each animal which children can relate to people. Great colorful illustrations and good moral behind the story.

There's no real story line, but rather lots of comparisons of a busy child to different animals. The illustrations are amazing, but this one has text appropriate to toddlers, but the length is appropriate to preschoolers. If I used it with my toddlers at story time I'd paper clip several spreads together and we would imitate the animals in the book - lots of chances for movement! In a pinch I might use it with my preschoolers as a fun book at the end.
