The parrot,away from the sky and the sun and unable to fly, trails behind;repeatedly calling out 'where's the gold?'. When they come tosomething scary in the tunnel, and not knowing what it is, theyhuddle together in fear. When the parrot, in the confusion, bitesTed on the bottom, the three pirates are convinced there is amonster after them and flee back the way they came; not stoppinguntil they are back safe in their boat and out at sea.

The dress thenloses its pink stain to the wall, then Dad's shoes, then the rug inthe hall, until finally the Cat must call in some assistance: frominside his hat comes Little Cat A, then Littler Cats B, C, D, E,and so on, nested like dolls in ever tinier hats. With this pack offelines, Sally and her brother may get rid of those stains, butthey'll likely never be rid of that rascally cat.

A cricket is born who cannot talk! A bigger cricket welcomes himto the world, then a locust, a cicada, and many other insects, buteach time the tiny cricket rubs his wings together in vain: nosound emerges. In the end, however, he meets another quiet cricket,and manages to find his "voice." Children will love the repetitivetext as they meet a steady parade of new creatures (including a"spittlebug, slurping in a sea of froth"); and of course they'lldelight in the happy ending. This is one of a series of large (11.5by 8.5 inches) format Eric Carle books with a mechanical twist: inthis case, the quiet cricket bursts into (surprisingly authentic)electronic song as you turn the last page. (The battery isreplaceable.) An amusement for the ears, but most of all--as ever,with Carle--a feast for the eyes. The colorful cut-paperillustrations are simply gorgeous, drawing you in even on thehundredth reading. (And there will be a hundredth reading, followedby many more.)
