I love lots of diffrent kinds of books and I loved lots of theones I've read and I loved these books and they are in my top list. Irecommend these books to children who like adventure and fun in their books. Also I think it's very good for moms or dads to read to their children for bedtime stories and together time.

This review is from: Chester Cricket's New Home (Paperback)
I bought this book for my grandson who had read other Chester Cricket books and enjoyed them. He tells me that it was great. The story moves along quickly and suits the age group for which it was recommended. I would advise it as a reading project. Jacob read it during the summer without being coaxed, and he is very picky about his reading material.
