A Pocketful of Cricket

About this book

"Chee! Chee!" Inside Jays dark pocket Cricket began fiddling. The talking stopped. Everybody listened. A Caldecott Honor classic that celebrates friendship and new experiences-back in print on its 40th anniversary One afternoon late in August before the start of a new school year Jay finds Cricket. Cricket fits just right in small spaces-like under a tea strainer or in Jays very own pocket-and Cricket makes the most exciting sounds. But what happens when its time to go back to school? Will Cricket come too? Forty years after its original publication this charming tale continues to capture the imaginative world of a child.
