Book A: Rafi Finds His Chirp

1Rafi was a little cricket. He lived in a big green meadow. Every night, the other crickets chirped. Rafi wanted to chirp too, but he was shy.

2One night, Rafi put on his tiny blue bow tie. "I can do it," he told his friend Mo the moth. Mo smiled. "Just try one chirp," she said.

3Rafi rubbed his wings together. Chirp, chirp! The meadow was full of music, and Rafi chirped until the sun came up.

Book B: Crickets

1A cricket is a small insect. Many crickets are brown or black. A cricket has six legs and two long feelers on its head. Its strong back legs help it jump.

2Crickets make a chirping sound. A male cricket chirps by rubbing his wings together. Crickets hear with ears on their front legs.

3Many crickets live in fields and grassy places. They often chirp at night.
