After tonight's wonderful NHCS Winter Concert, each family received a copy of our One School/One Book read-aloud for this year. A Cricket in Times Square by George Selden is a Newbery Honor Book set in New York City. It tells of the friendship between a cricket, a mouse, a cat, and a boy. The first four chapters will introduce you to those characters and set the tone for the story.
Much of the action in the book takes place in the Times Square subway station. Check out the video below to see what that place looks like!
Packets of questions were passed out with your books. If you misplace them and want to view or print out a copy at home, click below:
