(2) K-3 Illustrated by Evaline Ness. In this gentle story of an Appalachian farm boy, six-year-old Jay is anxious about going to school for the first time. An understanding teacher makes Jay and his pet cricket the focus of show-and-tell, and Jay's anxieties are allayed. Caudill's quiet, understated text is beautifully complemented by Ness's three-color woodcuts in this 1965 Caldecott Honor Book.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: February, 1965
