Have a magical experience in the Amazon rain forest with Cricket this month!

Fly with Cricket to South America for a forest odyssey tale about a girl who meets magical creatures and is transformed into a morpho butterfly. Next, ride a fantastic stallion across the sky as you read about a Chilean boy who confidently dreams of overcoming his poverty. You’ll enjoy a story about medieval Poland, then travel back further in time to the eruption of Vesuvius and the story of a brave dog who helps his young master survive. There’s a hilarious poem about things Romans thought trivial; the next part in the ancient Chinese love story of Princess Wencheng and the King of the Tubo people; and a science story about how the helium in your balloon comes ultimately from ... exploding stars! When Ladybug’s kite goes astray, she and Pussywillow almost find themselves in the belly of the beast. All this, and a new poetry contest about the mysteries of nature, in this explosive issue of Cricket!
