What a shame to keep this delightful book from direct use by children. I'm not being critical as we have to do what we have to do -- but here a possible alternative. We had two books that had "lost the cricket chip" -- so when we discussed Eric Carle I brought out the Putnam/Scholastic tape of Eric Carle and would read the story from the book, then cue in on the section where Carle is reading the end of the book. When we got to the part where the cricket was supposed to chirp we tried it -- of course it would not work. Then we watched the video and heard the chirp of the cricket. Then we reread our chirpless copy and made the sound ourselves. We did that several times until we were expert chirpers. We never again worried about hearing the chirp. Such fun!
