Synopsis

A warm, musical summer in a meadow world where chirpy fiddling keeps the night lively.

Chirpy Cricket carries his fiddle wherever he goes, turning warm evenings into miniature concerts for the farmyard and beyond. This collection follows his quick hops, bright tunes, and the friendly mischief that comes with a life lived to music. In a series of tiny adventures, Chirpy meets neighbors like Bumblebees, Mole Crickets, Tree Crickets, and others who love sound as much as he does. The stories celebrate curiosity, friendship, and the joy of making music under the stars.

• Bright, accessible tales centered on a musical insect with a big heart.
• New animal friends and playful conflicts that stay light and age-appropriate.
• Short chapters ideal for early readers and shared reading aloud.
• A cozy blend of humor, imagination, and gentle morals.

Ideal for readers who enjoy animal-centered adventures and simple, charming humor in early chapter books.

Biographie de l'auteur

Arthur Scott Bailey (November 15, 1877 – October 17, 1949) was an American writer. He was the author of more than forty children's books. He was born in St. Albans, Vermont, United States, the second child of Winfield Scott Bailey and Harriet Sarah Goodhue Bailey attended St. Albans Academy and graduated in 1896, in a class of only eleven other students. He then went on to the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, where he became involved in a fraternal organization, Sigma Phi. He left UVM in 1901 and transferred to Harvard, where he earned his bachelor's degree. After graduating Harvard in 1902, Bailey traveled to Chicago and put his knowledge of growing up in his father's store to good use, becoming a wholesale grocery merchant. This lasted until 1904, when Bailey travelled to New York City and became an editor for various publishers. Which publishers these were is unknown, with the exception of the Macaulay Company, where he was working in early 1915. His work also includes the comic strip Animal Whys, which was syndicated in 1937. Bailey was known for being an intellectual, and was a member of the Salamagundi Club of New York.

He died on September 30, 1991, and had 10 grandchildren.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chirpy Cricket had begun to make music earlier in the summer perhaps he wouldnt have given so much time to fiddling in Farmer Green sfarmyard. Everybody admitted that Chirpy was the most musical insect in the whole neighborhood. And it seemed as if he tried his hardest to crowd as much music as possible into a few weeks, though he had been silent enough during all the spring.
