Christmas Cricket

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Timothy Bush. One night, a cricket, feeling insignificant and alone, enters a house and hides in the family's Christmas tree, where his song gives voice to the Christmas angel. The small-is-beautiful message may elude young children, but the gentle tone and almost cartoonlike cricket will capture their attention, as will the enormous glowing lights and bristly tree branches encircling the soft, poetic text.
