A funny Beginner Book about the difficulties of being a big brother—perfect for kids who love bugs and space!

In this charming, rhymed easy-reader, energetic Little Cricket longs to go someplace where he can play and make noise without waking up his new baby sibling. But when Cricket finds a ticket that (literally!) takes him out of this world,he discovers that the best place to have fun is at home with his family—including Baby Cricket! Ideal for reading alone or reading out loud, A Ticket for Cricket is the perfect choice for beginning readers, big brothers or sisters, bug-lovers, budding astronomers, or kids who are all of the above!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.
