Summary: Beautiful pictures- lovely sentiment-
Comment: This is a great book- it celebrates the complexities of our personality in a way that makes sense to young children. Different animals are used to illustrate different facets of our personality- quick as a cricket, loud as a lion, shy as a shrimp, etc. The illustrations are just gorgeous, and can help children learn about a variety of animals in the natural world, as the animals are not shown in a zoo setting. I appreciate that the child can be seen as either a little girl or a little boy, since there are so many books need to enforce gender roles right from the beginning. This book is truly a gem for the 2-6 range. At least, my 2 yo son loves it, and will imitate the animals!

Summary: My 20 month old son LOVES this book! 1st time mom at 44
Comment: My son eyes new books suspiciously - almost like I was trying to sneak a new child into the house without checking with him first. His books are a closed circle of friends and he loves the familiar, well worn pages that he can rattle off by heart. So I was amazed when he took to this book immediately and with gusto, rattling off the animal names within days. Quick as a cricket, slow as a snail, small as an ant, large as a whale, ...there are sad bassetts, happy larks, tame poodles, busy bees, lazy lizards, tough rhinos...you name it. This books has the essential ingredients for every toddler book - beautiful artwork, rhyme and rhythm to the words, and interesting characters to capture little imaginations. I love the Woods but not all their books are for tots this age since they can get a little bizarre sometimes. This ranks right up there in the book world the way Raffi does in the music world of toddlers!

Summary: I'm as Quick as a Cricket
Comment: My children all grew up with this book. My oldest child is handicapped and ABSOLUTELY loves this book over all the others. When read with enthusiasm and accents on the words, it makes it all the more enjoyable. The last page with the big smile is the ultimate ending and my daughter pulls the book to her face with glee. If you enjoy reading to your kids and enjoy wonderful pictures---this is a keeper. This is at the top of my list and has been for years. All of the new nieces and nephews recieve this as a gift. Absolutely the greatest!!
