The Boo's review.....this book was very, very, very, very good. I liked how they added so many details so that you could picture it and think about the way it would sound with the cricket chirping. I liked that their were concerts that the cricket gave to the people. My favorite character was Chester Cricket because he was the one that gave the concerts and I would like to go to one.
Mom's note: This is a good book for kids who love animals and tales of friendship.

It's a beautiful, charming story, with memorable details and all around a fun read! If not for the reeeeeeally ignorant portrayals of the Chinese shop owner and his friend, this might be a permanent favorite. I'm almost tempted to see what the revised versions have managed to do with the story so I can read this with my kids.
