A Pocketful of Cricket

This week the kids and I picked up a library book, A Pocketful of Cricket, from the "staff picks".  It turned out to be a real gem, the story of a precious farm boy, his pet cricket, and a teacher that spoke with grace.  Jay, the farm boy, collected items in his pocket while out on a farm chore including his soon-to-be pet, Cricket.  Since yesterday was sunny, we made "show and tell" bags and went on our own walk to collect interesting items.  Vic collected rocks that he threw in the water each time we passed by the creek near our house.  Making splashes are delightful.  Seth had a neat bag of items to show Dad when he got home from school.
