THE CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE by George Selden

It's highly unusual to find a cricket living in a subway station, but the station in Times Square has been granted the honor. Chester the cricket and his friends have many adventures and help each other through many ups and downs. The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden is a classic work of juvenile literature about unlikely friendships that change the lives of the characters forever...all because of a single cricket bringing them together.

Readers from 4th grade; up will absorb important character values from The Cricket in Times Square. This book, along with the sequels- eg. Tucker's Countryside and Chester Cricket's New Home- can be found in the Juvenile section under J SEL.
