The Cricket in Times Square by George Seldon

This book is about a boy called Mario who lives with his mother and father. They are very poor and make their living selling magazines and newspapers at their newspaper stand. Mario has been wanting a pet for a long time, but doesn't get one. His time comes when he adopts a pet cricket called Chester. Living in a newspaper stand is nice, but gets nicer still when Tucker mouse, and Harry cat enter his life. But as soon as Chester shows off his singing talent, Mario's family put him in a cage and make him sing concerts! Chester loves to sing, but only for fun. This kind of singing gets him wanting to go back to his home state, Connecticut. Can Harry cat and Tucker mouse make him stay, or will Chester catch the train, back to Connecticut?



I really like this book because there are animals in it.
