![Big Night [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G1YVVDMXL._SL160_.jpg) Big Night [VHS] $19.98 I have not had time to watch this movie again - a favorite of mine. But the DVD arrived quickly and appears to be in excellent condition.  The Cricket in Times Square (Chester Cricket and His Friends) $14.95 Great children's classic! I read it to my niece and nephew over a couple of weeks, reading a chapter or two in the evenings. My nephew is 8 and my niece is 5. This is the first long book that has held both of their interests, and they eagerly looked forward to each session. My niece would often ask during the day if we'd be reading "the cricket book" that night. Believe it or not, I had never read THE CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE before, and I found myself reading ahead after the kids went to sleep because I just had to find out what happened! And why not? This is a charming story full of adventure, friendships, and whimsy. I don't think anything I say would improve on the abundance of accolades showered on this book through the decades since it was first published in 1960. All I'm going to do is give it a big thumbs up and encourage anyone who hasn't read it, to do so -- with or without a kid at your side! It's thoroughly enjoyable! |
