Book Introduction:
Diary of a Cricket - Tô Hoài If you ask young people today who is the most beloved children's author in Vietnam, the answer would likely be none other than Tô Hoài. He has written many great works for children. "Diary of a Cricket" remains one of the most familiar works to many young readers. This is the debut and best work of author Tô Hoài. "Diary of a Cricket" has been translated into 15 languages, including Russian, German, Korean, and Thai, setting the record for the most translated Vietnamese literary work.
With keen observation, the author uses the artistic technique of personification to tell the lively and fascinating adventure of a young, impulsive, and curious cricket. The young cricket, who is arrogant and impetuous, bullies other insects like the grasshoppers and the water striders. He not only refuses to help but also despises a cricket named Choat. Due to his mischievousness, he indirectly causes Choat's death. He is remorseful, but when praised by children, he falls back into his old habits. "Traveling a day learns a wisdom," the cricket gradually matures through distant adventures in new lands. He befriends Truoi, forming a deep brotherhood. When Truoi goes missing, the cricket desperately calls out his name, realizing that life requires close friends to support each other in difficult times to avoid loneliness.
On his way back home after being captured and used as a toy by children, the once selfish cricket has grown and matured. He helps a small, timid cricket girl erase her debts and reconcile with the spider family. As time passes, the cricket matures hour by hour, day by day. His journey continues with profound lessons. The adventure ends with the joy of reunion and the sorrow of losing loved ones. The cricket visits his mother's grave by the pond, with her life lessons still echoing in his mind. Reading this book feels like embarking on an adventure with the cricket. There are mistakes, valuable lessons, regrets, and tears with every step. But more importantly, the cricket teaches us lessons about love, dreaming, and acting on those dreams. The cricket has lived and grown up this way! Never losing its appeal, this book has been and will always be a bedside book for generations of Vietnamese and global children. The values and meanings it conveys are timeless. And the cricket remains a close and dear friend to all children!
