iymain's review against another edition
3.0
This one is a real showcase of Garth William's illustrations. The story is limited to animal interactions, though, so, again, I don't think it is nearly as good as The Cricket in Times Square. That being said, I imagine it's really popular with Manhattanites. The brief bit of history and the tour that Chester takes are very flattering to the city and would make a loyal NYer feel proud.

The pigeon, at no point, looks like a pigeon. Not ever like a bird that could be mistaken for a pigeon from a distance.
And yet, I love the illustrations, just as I loved them in Cricket in Times Square.
This is a sweet book, and I am conflicted on whether to keep it or whether to give it to my nephew who is from NYC and is three and is in all ways the target audience.
