Summary: charming story for all ages
Review: I found this to be a thoroughly delightful story! We read an excerpt that was part of my fourth-grade class's reading book, and my students liked it so much I obtained and read the entire book to them over the course of several days.
The human and animal characters are very amusing and likeable. I believe this tale fosters interest in learning about crickets and exploring different musical genres.
I intend to obtain other George Seldon books featuring these characters for my class library.

Review: Have you ever seen a cat, mouse, and a cricket hang out? I bet you haven't, but in this story you most certinaily will! The Bellini's news stand was doing poorly, until he met the soon to be famous Chester cricket. Mario Bellini's annoyed mother refused to have a cricket in the house. Mario and his father, Papa Bellini were able to convince Mama to at least be able to keep Chester in a matchbox at the news stand. In the news stand the cricket made a new friend, a selfesh but kind mouse named Tucker. In this brief meeting Tucker mgo cker jugged the cat under chin! Chester joinded the circle friends. Many of us have moved before and have to make a new life with new friends.
La, la, la, Chester's music really rocks! Many people gatherd around the news stand twice a day to hear a cricket who chirped famous songs. Does fame get to Chester's head? Does he go back to his home-town Hedley, Conneticut? Read the book to find out!
I would recomend to ages eight and up, because it shows you might be good somthing, but if you don't like it you can't stick to it!

Summary: Should be used in the I love NY campaign
Review: One of the most pleasurable aspects of reading a good story is the experience of actually being in the adventure without getting up from your cozy reading chair. What kind of adventure will you have with Chester Cricket from the Connecticut countryside? With Chester, you will become the typical Big Apple Tourist! Lose yourself in the subway among the heaps of rubbish and waste paper. Keep yourself from getting squished by the hundreds of commuters charging in and out of subway trains. Meet an Italian family from Naples and enjoy their hospitality. Make friends with a street-smart rodent who knows all the good places to get a meal and a cultured cat who goes to the Opera and listens to chamber music played in Central Park. (Where else but in New York can you have chamber music performed out in the open air?) Be dazzled by the lights in Times Square. Eat authentic Chinese cuisine in Chinatown. Get your 15 minutes of fame performing in the NY streets. Survive an attempted robbery of your only possession in the world. And finally, ask yourself whether you want to stay in the city or to go back to your tranquil country home. This story is fast-paced and is a fast read. The plot is engaging. One constantly wonders: What can possibly happen next? Will Chester find life exciting in the Big City and stay? Will he go back to Connecticut? Will the Bellinis' lives get better? The characters are very likeable and are well-developed. They are not cardboard cut-outs of stereotypical New Yorkers. For example, although hardened city-dweller Tucker can easily be perceived as a fast-talking and rather materialistic mouse, one sees his generous and helpful side as well. The same thing can be said about Harry Cat. He is cultured, world-wise and also kind. The Cricket in Times Square is good, clean fun. Buy a copy for the kid on his first trip to Manhattan. Get it as a gift for the little armchair traveler. Read it as an animal lover.

Summary: The Cricket in Times Square
Review: I so enjoyed "The Criket in Times Square" when my 6th grade teacher read it to us in class. I asked for it for Christmas that year. After that, I read it over and over. My hardback copy was VERY worn when my son was born. It was hard to wait to read it to him. I tried to introduce him at age 3...but it was a little heavy for him. By age 6, it was perfect. We read it to him again at 7 and 8. At age 9, he came to me and asked if he could read "The Criket Book" Now, 4 months later, he loves the story of Tucker, Harry and Chester as much as I did!

Summary: Exceptional!
Review: The Cricket in Times Square was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. If the book looks intresting to you, just buy it. Chester is the cricket who does some bad things to Mario's family but overall he is dearly loved. You will not be disappointed by reading this novel!
