Cricket Crawl August 9, 2011

Join us as we share Eric Carle's classic story The Very Quiet Cricket. Where do crickets live and what do they eat? Who eats them? Why are they considered good luck? How do they make that sound? Try making noise like a cricket. We will go exploring in the fields for crickets and some of their cousins. Which ones are the babies? - - All ages welcome, up to three children per adult. Fees apply to all participants, both adults and children. "Backpack babies" (under 12 months and carried in a backpack or sling) are welcome free of charge, though please mention these participants when registering.
