What's a cricket doing in Times Square? Chester soon finds himself surrounded by friends, both animal (a mouse and a cat) and human (a boy and his parents who own the newsstand where Chester finds himself). Chester discovers he is an extraordinary musician and develops quite a following in New York, but he longs to return to the country where he feels he really belongs.
I don't know how I missed this one when I was a kid. It was charming and sweet. Also, I hate to admit this this but it has been quite some time since I read a kid's chapter book and I really need to read more of them this year. There are a whole bunch of classics I have not picked up.
