Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he’d seen it all. But he’s never met a cricket before, which really isn’t surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He’d be there still if he hadn’t followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone’s picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.
Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents’ newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two.
作者简介乔治·塞尔登(George Selden)1929年生于美国康涅狄格州，原名乔治·塞尔登·汤普森。自耶鲁大学毕业后，他本有意朝剧本写作的方向发展，但却在朋友的鼓励下走上了儿童小说的创作道路。他的第一本书出版于1956年，不过并没有引起很多人的注意。真正使他一举成名的，是他1961年获得纽伯瑞儿童文学奖银奖的《时代广场的蟋蟀》。这本描写一只蟋蟀、一只老鼠和一只猫咪不寻常友谊的故事书，出版后即佳评如潮，一直到今天仍风行在美国市场，奠定了塞尔登在儿童文学界的地位。《塔克的郊外》则是《时代广场的蟋蟀》中那三位小主人公的另一次有趣的冒险故事。
