A Pocketful of Cricket by Rebecca Caudill

4.0

Caldecott Honor picture book from 1965. A bit wordy. The art was relatively simple but still good. We get to visit with a rural boy a couple days before his first day of school. And his first day of school. Not sure I'd want to be encouraging kids these days to bring a cricket to school. But it's a kind of sweet slice of life. 3.5 of 5.
