We are a second generation family for Carus Publishing.  I received Cricket as a child and it was the brightest spot in my month, year after year.  I can't tell you how wonderful it is as a mom to share the joy of reading such wonderful words and artwork with my children and seeing their eyes light up every month when they get a "new book" with their name on it.  Both kids have a beloved stash of Babybugs which keep them busy, and our oldest now has a lovely stack of Ladybugs to join them.  What a treasure!
