Jay is a young boy who enjoys his country life and loves to explore the countryside where he lives. On his adventures he finds a cricket and decides to keep him. He has to start school soon and decides to take him to class. The cricket starts to make his noise and the teacher lets Jay share the cricket for show and tell.
A lyrical, beautifully written story which captures the imagination of children and adults. The writing is so wonderfully descriptive that the reader can taste the sweet and sour apples and hear the sound of the cricket. |
