This prequel to The Cricket in Times Square introduces readers to Tucker Mouse and Harry Kitten (before he was Harry Cat), how they met, and how they came to live in the drainpipe in the subway. They face many dangers, including a trio of rats, but by sticking together, they find the perfect home. ( )

In this prequel to the classic The Cricket in Times Square.. Selden recounts the first days of the friendship of two of his major characters, beginning almost as far back as they can remember...

George Selden introduced Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse to the world in A Cricket in Times Square. I read the book back in elementary school, years before I started keeping track of my reading. I can remember borrowing every single book my school library had that featured these beloved characters.

Recently I saw a copy of Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse by George Selden on display at my local library. Feeling nostalgic I brought it home.

This one tells of the first meeting between Harry and Tucker, when Harry is just a kitten. They are both trying to survive in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but haven't found their special place yet.

It's a cute fill-in-the-blanks type story. Anyone who has read A Cricket in Times Square will see how things have to end. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see how they got there and why it ended up being perfect for them. ( )

This is a sweet book, one which I don’t think I read as a child. It’s a “prequel” to “The Cricket in Times Square,” which tells the story of how Harry the Cat and Tucker Mouse met, and came to be friends. My son and I read it together today, taking turns doing the character voices. ( )
