Publisher Description
Del autor e ilustrador superventas Eric Carle, creador de La Oruga Muy Hambrienta, llega este cuento clásico sobre un grillo silencioso. El regalo perfecto para hijos y nietos.
Un día, un diminuto grillo sale del huevo y se encuentra con un grillo grande que le da la bienvenida con un chirrido. El pequeño grillo trata de responder, pero no le sale ningún sonido. El grillo silencioso comienza así a explorar el mundo, y conoce una serie de insectos que lo saludan con su alegre canto: el zumbido de una abeja, el aleteo de una libélula, el susurro de una mantis religiosa. Cada vez, el grillo frota sus alas, pero no sale ni el más mínimo sonido. Hasta que un día, se encuentra con otro grillo, una hembra, y sucede algo diferente…

One day a tiny cricket is born and meets a big cricket who chirps his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but there is no sound. The quiet cricket then makes his way into the world, meeting one insect after another, each of whom greets the little cricket with a cheery hello--the hum of a bee, the whirr of a dragonfly, the whisper of a praying mantis. The cricket rubs his wings together each time, but nothing happens, not a sound. Until the day he meets another cricket, a female, and something different happens . . .
