About The Cricket in Times Square by George
Selden:
In the more than forty years since The Cricket in Times Square was first
published, it has become a classic for all ages, passed down from generation to
generation. Georg Selden's whimsical tale is about a little Connecticut cricket named
Chester, whose entrapment in a wicker picnic basket leads to never-before-dreamed-of
adventures upon his arrival in Times Square.
The Cricket in Times Square won a 1961 Newbery Honor.
Reading level: Ages 9-12
