An Updated version of the timeless children\'s classic featuring a business-savvy mouse, a kind alley cat, and a talented country cricket, featuring a new Foreword and revisions by YA author Stacey Lee.
The Cricket in Times Square is George Selden at his best, and the new illustrations and interior images by Garth Williams make this Edition a special treat..
Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one--not even Chester himself--realizes that the little country Cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.
He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the Cricket is more than that.
It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents\' newsstand.
Chester makes a third friend, too.
The trio have many adventures--from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.
And he could not have found two better guides--and friends--than Tucker and Harry.
Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around.
He\'d be there still if he hadn\'t followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone\'s picnic basket.
Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow.
But he\'s never met a Cricket before, which really isn\'t surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City--the Times Square subway station.
He thought he\'d seen it all.
Tucker is a streetwise city mouse.
