    Hello!

    I am new to Chatterbox, but I have been getting Cricket for about a year now. I have three cats and two dogs. My favorite characters in Cricket are Pussywillow (she’s so cute!) and Ladybug.

    What are your favorite books? I know that probably a billion people have asked that question in the past, but I would like to know. I am always on the lookout for new stories to read. My favorite genres are fiction and historical fiction, though I make exceptions from time to time. Let me know!

    Dear Capricorn,

    Cricket readers and we bugs have so many favorite books! Look for them in “Favorite First Sentences” (page 31) and “The Letterbox” of this issue; in “Cricket Readers Recommend” in other issues; and online at cricketmagkids.com/ chatterbox. Select “Blab About Books.”

    Love, Old Cricket

    Dear Everybuggy,

    I like so many things ’cause I tried them. I got inspiration from a quote that says if you don’t try, you don’t do. I tried stuff. I found what I am good at. So just remember try and don’t give up! Amateurs built the ark. Professionals You will thank me later.
