Story
Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry.

Poor Narration
I have always loved the story of Martin’s Mice — it’s cute and a little unusual and weird and I love that.
I feel that the narrator had no awareness of the character’s personality and misrepresented them. I felt Martin was quiet, thoughtful type of cat but the voice effect of narrator turned these beautiful characters into rather creepy, very creepy! annoying ones with a foreboding and sinister vibe.
It was hard to listen to. Impossible to enjoy.
That made me sad.
