Summary: The Cricket In Times Square
Review: This book is about a little mouse who was Tucker, a cat whose name was Harry, a kid named Mario. Mario owned a newsstand which was not going really well.In the meanwhile a cricket named Chester arrives in Times Square, from Connecticut. The four decided to make Mario's bankrupt newsstand become popular once again. Later in the book everone decided to put Chester (the lucky cricket) on the newsstand so people could be more attracted to it. Then their plan was successful, hundreds and hundreds of people came. I liked the book because it was really interesting finding out how they could make the bankrupt newsstand successful. Then again most books are kind of boring because it keeps on saying the same things over and over again. This book isn't boring because every page you turn something new happens, so this book is really exciting to read. My favorite part in this book was when Mario's newsstand finally became a success. It is my favorite part because it is kind of sad in the start of the book because it seems like Mario's life is very poor and trying to struggle just to make his newsstand right. Then, when you see that they brought up with a great plan, and Mario's newsstand is filled with people now.

Summary: The Cricket in times Square
Review: One day I was board my brother suggested this book to me. He said it was exciting and interesting to me because it has a cat. I like any book that has a cat because I have five cats of my own. I read the back of the book and it sounded sort of interesting to me. The book was about a cricket that gets lost by being trapped in a picnic basket. He is somehow transported to Times Square. A boy named Mario took the cricket and kept it as a pet. The cricket meets some other animals in Time Square. They were Tucker mouse and Harry cat. The cricket became famous because he could play songs by using his wings and his hind legs to make a violin. It attracted many costumers to Mario's newsstand. My favorite part of the book was when the cricket was playing his songs because I thought it was cool. I would like to see a cricket play classical music but a cricket could never do that. I also like Harry cat because it reminds me of my own cat named Furry. This book was exciting and interesting just like my brother said.

Summary: Read this book right this instent it is the best book ever.
Review: George Selden's book, The Cricket in Times Square, was a very good book. It had a good plot and good characters, like there's a fire and three of the characters are a mouse, a cricket and a cat. The characters can talk to each other and the cat and the mouse are from Times Square. The cricket is from Connecticut. I liked the ending because the cricket got to got back home, which made him happy.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: Right up there with another classic of children's literature, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "The Cricket in Times Square" is an enchanting and captivating story of friendship, love, trust and remembering what's important in life. The story of a little boy's admiration for his non-traditional pet, and the unpredictable friendship between a cat, mouse and cricket, make for a touching and heart-warming story. A perfect book to read aloud to children of all ages. It continues to warm my heart over 20 years since I first read it.
