Great Pics

The plot is a little thin compared to the richness of The Cricket in Times Square. But the pictures are great, and worth the price alone.

Chester Cricket's Pigeon Ride

Haven't read the book yet, bought it for me and my friend to read together, so can't rate it as yet, but I'm sure we'll enjoy it, as we've enjoyed all the books with Chester Cricket that we've read thus far. The delivery of the book was very timely. So, I rated it 4 stars, just figuring it would be at least that good
