Publisher Description

Un clásico atemporal cobra vida en la vibrante ciudad de Nueva York

Una versión actualizada del clásico de todos los tiempos para niños, Un Grillo En Times Square de George Selden nos presenta a un ratón hábil para los negocios, un tierno gato callejero y un talentoso grillo de campo en una cautivadora aventura en el corazón de Manhattan. Con un nuevo prólogo y revisiones de la autora de literatura juvenil Stacey Lee, esta edición excepcional complementa las ilustraciones originales de Garth Williams.

Tucker, un astuto ratón urbano, y su amigo Harry Gato viven en la bulliciosa estación de metro de Times Square. Sus vidas dan un giro inesperado cuando conocen a Chester Grillo, un insecto de Connecticut que accidentalmente acabó en la gran ciudad. El trío emprende emocionantes aventuras, desde disfrutar de los encantos de Broadway hasta escapar de un peligroso incendio.

Pero el viaje de Chester no termina ahí. Un niño llamado Mario lo rescata y le ofrece refugio en el quiosco de periódicos de su familia. Lo que comienza como una simple amistad pronto revela el talento oculto de Chester, quien tiene mucho que enseñar incluso a los más curtidos neoyorquinos.

Con su entrañable elenco de personajes y su vibrante ambientación urbana, Un Grillo En Times Square es un clásico moderno que encantará a lectores de todas las edades.

About George Selden

George Selden (1929-1989) was the author of A Cricket in Times Square, winner of the 1961 Newbery Honor and a timeless children's classic. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Selden received his B.A. from Yale, where he was a member of the Elizabethan Club and contributed to the literary magazine. He spent three summer sessions at Columbia University and, after college, studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship. People often asked Selden how he got the idea for The Cricket in Times Square. "One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station. The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently." The popular Cricket series grew to seven titles, including Tucker's Countryside and The Old Meadow. In 1973, The Cricket in Times Square was made into an animated film. Selden wrote more than fifteen books, as well as two plays. His storytelling blends the marvelous with the commonplace realities of life, and it was essential to him that his animal characters display true emotions and feelings.
