Charming and Relatable
By Katey
A classic children's book about a cat, a mouse, a cricket and a boy. Set mainly in Times Square subway station, George Selden's gentle tale gives the reader a flavour of New York life, and even though it was written in 1960 it's still charming and relatable. Garth Williams accompanying illustrations are gorgeous.

Remarkably good, but oh those Chinese characters
By Ancient Mariner
So, where do you stand regarding books that are remarkably good, but riddled with casual insensitive racial stereotypes? Wherever you are, you'll have to bring that position to bear on this book. The writing is marvelous. The central characters have spirit and style. This book screams "New York City attitude", in a good way. You feel you are in Times Square Station. You feel the time period. You know these people. They have charm and decency and grit. And then you hit the Chinese characters. The most laughably offensive fake Chinese pidgin English ever. And you cringe. Which is a terrible shame, since the Chinese gentlemen who are portrayed are kind, gentle and generous. So what do you do. Explain the book? Skip the Chinese parts? Just avoid it? That, of course, is up to you. Just bear in mind that the book itself is worth the trouble of trying to figure out a solution that lets you read it to your kids.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
By TeensReadToo
THE CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE is a classic children's story. Written in the 1960's and the winner of a Newbery Honor Book award, THE CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE has wonderful staying power. Now, courtesy of Macmillan Young Listeners, the tale truly comes to life.The story finds a country cricket, Chester, unwittingly stranded in New York City. After falling asleep in a picnic basket in Connecticut, he wakes up in a world that is totally different to him. He is befriended by Mario, a young boy who helps his parents run a newsstand in the subway. Chester encounters Tucker, a wizened city mouse, and his friend, Harry Cat. The two teach Chester how to live in the city and enjoy the wonders of the subway.Soon, everyone learns of Chester's talent of recreating any music he hears, and spellbounds Mario's parents, music critics, and subway commuters alike. But Chester quickly becomes tired of the constant performing, and misses his quiet country life. Tucker and Harry do their best to ensure that Chester finds his way back home.With the talents of Tony Shalhoub, Chester Cricket, Harry Cat, and Tucker Mouse become real characters that the listener can instantly relate to. Even though the story is about animals in a Times Square subway station, the listener gets drawn in and wants there to be a happy ending.Mr. Shalhoub creates unique voices for each of the characters, and from the very beginning, it is easy to decipher which character is doing the speaking. I listened to the story (an unabridged production on two CDs) with my two children and they were immediately enchanted. With classical music signaling the end of each chapter, they both would shout out the next one.For anyone not familiar with the classic tale, listening to it will be an adventure. And for those that know the sweet tale of Chester finding himself in a foreign land (at least for him), listening to the story will be a treat. No one will be disappointed!Reviewed by: Jaglvr
