Book Synopsis

When Cricket goes for a walk, he finds Ladybug searching for something in her garden. She's lost one of her spots! Since Cricket doesn't have any spots, he doesn't think they're important. Bee has a problem too: her wing is all tangled up! Spider is running low on silk and Centipede doesn't have enough shoes... But Cricket doesn't think any of those things are that important. But what will Cricket do when he faces a problem?

Abeja tiene un ala enredada y no puede usarla, Mariquita perdió uno de sus lunares, a Ciempiés le faltan unos pocos zapatos... Pero a Grillo ninguna de esas cosas le parecen muy importantes, porque él no las usa.

Review Quotes

A strong Spanish-language selection to add to mindfulness shelves, especially those in need of titles emphasizing empathy. - School Library Journal

31 Days 31 Lists. Bilingual Children's Books. Personal responsibility is an exceedingly difficult concept to teach to adults, let alone 5-year-olds. However, I remember with concrete clarity an old Sesame Street short from when I was a kid that showed what the Earth would look like if everyone littered. Iser's book isn't about environmental responsibility directly, but it's all part and parcel when you're talking about what we owe one another. - A Fuse #8 Production (An SLJ Blog)
