Title: The Cricket in Times Square
Author: George Selden
Reviewer:  Kelly M. '07
In The Cricket in Times Square, Mario and his family own a newspaper shop down in the subway. Every night after they close the shop, a mouse named Tucker and a cat named Harry come out to talk. One day, Mario finds a cricket and asks his parents if he could keep it. His parents agree. Mario names the cricket Chester. When Chester sings, people come to buy Mario's newspapers.

I recommend The Cricket in Times Square to people who like stories about friendship.
