Summary

Today’s story is about a jolly, old cricket who thought a great deal of himself. He was a good cricket and loved to talk about himself and the wonderful things he had seen and done when he was younger. He tells stories to the younger crickets and tells them about being brave. The end of the story has a bit of a surprise for the younger crickets. This is followed by a poem called The Schoolhouse written by Lenore Hetrick. The poem talks about the best things that this person is learning in school and how they are dreading the day they will leave the schoolhouse. Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️👂📖 👋 Hello friends!
