Another book that we ❤️


We are still continuing to work our way thru our Mensa book list....for about a year we've been reading such fantastic books from this list...read more Here and Here about that.

And today we finished another AMAZING book!

The Cricket in Times Square


It is the sweetest book set in NYC in hardworking Italian families' newspaper stand in Times Square....the three adorable yet fully developed characters are some of my favorite book characters ever....a cricket, a mouse, and a cat!

Pipiri and I fell in love with Chester Cricket! 
His beautiful chirping...his love of nature...his helpful spirit...

This book has a wonderful moral for children...rabbit trails to explore...NYC, mice, pets, Chinatown, the history of crickets...and Pipiri and I spent oodles of our mornings researching each of these topics.

Check out these other super fun books and book options...thank you for supporting my blog!
