Features: The sincere friendship between a cricket, a mouse, and a cat is enough to warm this cold world. Anyone who has read this book, whether a child or an adult, will never forget the cricket named Chester, remembering its loud and rhythmically endless chirping. The cricket Chester never thought of leaving the grassland in the countryside of Connecticut, but it jumped into a picnic basket out of gluttony and was taken to the bustling place in New York—Times Square subway station. In the cold and indifferent New York, the lucky Chester met the smart and slightly mercenary mouse Tucker and the loyal and simple-minded cat Henry, and also met the boy Mario, who loved it. The cricket Chester repaid his friends' sincere friendship with his extraordinary musical talent, helped Mario's family out of difficulties, and himself became a musician who shocked the entire New York!
