The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle teaches children description (similar to Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?) as well as suffixes and other vocabulary elements. The message that can be taken from this book is patience and obtaining a goal. The message is positive and triumphant. The story teaches children that dreams can come true and may not come right away, but with hard work and determination anything can happen. (Awe how sweet. ) I am going to attach a video of someone reading the story out loud so that the readers can see if they are able to identify some of the literary elements I've discussed.

Another concept that The Very Quiet Cricket addresses the power of communication. Due to the fact the cricket cannot talk or communicate the way he wishes he could (using his legs) the story shows how sometimes there are limitations in life and adapting is a part of life.
