Old Cricket
What's Old Cricket About
Old Cricket tells his missus why he can’t fix the roof – I woke with a creak in my knee, dear wife. He tells Cousin Katydid why he can’t pick berries – I woke with a creak in my knee and a crick in my neck. He tells Uncle Ant why he can’t harvest corn – I woke with a creak in my knee, a crick in my neck, and a crack in my back….I’m off to see Doc Hopper. But before he gets there, Old Crow comes calling. Caw-caw-caw, he says, hungrily. And caw is one C-word Old Cricket can’t relish. The creators of Sailor Moo present a second critter comedy, full of wordplay and antic animation.

The Creatives Behind the Book
Award-winning children’s author, Lisa Wheeler has worked many jobs, most of them involving bad smells. “I’ve washed diapers–both baby and adult–, scrubbed toilets, and even spent a few months as the best night-crawler wrangler on a small island.” But her favorite job, hands-down, is writing. “Fresh books are one of my favorite smells—bonus!” Lisa is passionate about children’s books. “I love everything about them!” She’s written over 40 picture books in prose and rhyme, an easy reader series, four books of poems, and creative nonfiction for the very young. “As far back as I can remember, I’ve been a rhymer. Wordplay excites me!” Lisa’s newest books are Dino-Christmas, People Don’t Bite People, Babies Can Sleep Anywhere and The Christmas Boot . Lisa writes her books in southeast Michigan
