Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he’d seen itall. But he’s never met a cricket before, which really isn’tsurprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker livesin the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station.Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow.He’d be there still if he hadn’t followed the entrancing aroma ofliverwurst right into someone’s picnic basket. Now, like anytourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not havefound two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The triohave many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds ofBroadway to escaping a smoky fire.
Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, whorescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station andbrings him to live in the safety of his parents’ newsstand. Hehopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understandsthat the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hiddentalent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the littlecountry cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest NewYorkers a thing or two.
