From the time she was a very young girl, Rachel Carson felt a bond with nature. Growing up in Pennsylvania, she spent hours exploring meadows and woods, dreaming of seeing the ocean. As Rachel grew older, she combined her gift for writing with her love of nature, producing award-winning books about the sea. But her best-known achievement was the publication of Silent Spring, an account of the dangerous effects of pesticides on plants and animals. With Silent Spring, Rachel helped create a movement to ban these harmful chemicals. Her findings helped to assure that future generations would be able to dream about the ocean and listen to crickets.

About the Author:

Candice Ransom is the author of 150 books for children. She holds an MFA from Vermont College and an MA in children's literature from Hollins University. She currently teaches in Hollins University's graduate program in children's literature.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-4-- This fluid account of Carson's life brings out the warmth of her personality and her passion for learning. It describes her love of nature and her compassion for the sea. Readers are made aware of the difficulties of the Depression and of being a female marine biologist in the early '50s. The subject's success as a science writer and the impact of The Silent Spring in bringing about controls over the use of pesticides are well stated. The book is illustrated with full-page black-and-white illustrations, which do little more than break up the text. Eve Stwertka's Rachel Carson (Watts, 1991), Judith Harlan's Rachel Carson (Dillon, 1989), and Jake Goldburg's Rachel Carson (Chelsea, 1991) are all for slightly older audiences. Listening to Crickets is an adequate addition to fulfill biography assignments. --Beth Irish, Orange Public Library, CA
