Review: A Crucial Read - In today’s world of slop piled into the trough of libraries, it’s a wonder to find a book which so encapsulates the goodness and wonder we seem to have lost. A glorious read.
Review: A MUST READ FOR EVERY ELEMENTARY KID - This is my favorite book. I read this book to my boys when they were young (5-8yrs) and even though it has very few pictures they looked forward to the story every night. The story is about a cricket that entertains the NYC subway system. An excellent imaginary story that brings us to a simpler world. This is a good starter book for young readers starting chapter books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beloved Children's Novel
*by M***D on May 15, 2023*

The Cricket in Times Square is a great tale for young and old alike. I read it many, many times as a child, and enjoy gifting it to the children in my life! Chester, the anthropomorphic Cricket goes on an adventure of a lifetime from CT to NYC as he hops inside a picnic basket to score some liverwurst sandwich bites! He makes friends with animals and humans alike, and becomes a miniature celebrity to boot!
