I'm trying to remember the name of a children's book I used to have.?
It was 3 short stories for kids in the 6-9 age group. All the stories had animals in them. The one I remember the best was about an animal who couldn't get to sleep because the crickets were chirping too loud. When he'd ask them to be quiet they would get louder. I know it seems vague, but it's been bothering me for years.

The book is called, "Mouse Soup" by Arnold Lobel. There are actually four stories in this book if I recall. The one you are talking about is the little mouse that tries to sleep but can't because of a loud chirping cricket. When she asks him nicely to stop, he gets more friends and they chirp louder. :)
