He&#8217;d be there still if he hadn&#8217;t followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone&#8217;s picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides &#8211; and friends &#8211; than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures &#8211; from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.<\/p>\n<p>Chester makes a third friend, too. 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&#8217; newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one &#8211; not even Chester himself &#8211; realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Cricket in Times Square\u00a0<\/em>by George Selden is a Newbery Honor-book about a tiny cricket\u2019s adventure in the Big Apple and features illustrations by Garth Williams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Companion Resources:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/cricket-in-times-square-teacher-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricket in Times Square Teacher Guide<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/cricket-in-times-square-student-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricket in Times Square Student Guide<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/the-cricket-in-times-square\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cricket in Times Square<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/the-cricket-in-times-square-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cricket in Times Square Set<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucker is a streetwise city mouse.
