The book tells about a newly hatched cricket that can't make a sound. Like many of his books it has an added dimension.

Cute Mute It's hard to tell if the little cricket's chirps are him talking or not, since a big cricket is stated to have chirped a Welcome! and when the little cricket chirps, it's just that, with no elaborate meaning. This possibly makes him The Speechless or Cute Mute throughout the story, though he's definitely this at the beginning of the story.

Chirping Crickets: Subverted, since the main character is a cricket.

Coming-of-Age Story: Seems to be this, since it's ultimately about a cricket; he hatched in the morning, and tries unsuccessfully to chirp only being able to do it at night after he meets a female, which makes sense, since it is a mating call.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Subverted, all of the insects are pretty friendly and many even greet the little cricket politely.
