A lighthearted children's book that was enjoyable. The theme of the book is relate able to all since it deals with the concept of a home and what you consider home. What are the intangibles that you just don't think about until you are away from them? Poor Chester has his lovely home by the brook destroyed and is rescued by his friends. This is the chronicle of many of his friends trying to find him a new home. It reminds me a bit of the Winnie the pooh segment where piglet loses his home. A goo...more
Not as good as the Cricket in Times Square. The most successful part of the other novel was how it incidentally revealed so much about human beings. This one was just in the animal world, so it was missing something. Still, it's a nice story about home and friends, so my 7 y.o. enjoyed it.
I did not like this one as much at the other books with Chester the cricket, but still a entertaining read for the boys that is perfect for just before bed.
it was the best book I have ever read!

Chester Crickets New Home was a amazing book. One minute he loses his house and then he gets a new house. plus he makes some new friends. one of his friends was going to eat him but he couldn't, why? he was his friend thats why. But Chester had some problem on his way to his new home. But he got there though and now he is living his life as he was before.

This book is different in Thant it I'd the first in the series without Harry cat and Tucker mouse. I enjoyed it more than the books without Chester but less than the books with all three of them. This one was a very pleasant read. Easy and relaxing.
Of course, I probably ranted enough to say that I love the series. This is my favorite out of them all. READ IT.
