Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Janell Cannon has a gift for making the creepy critters lovable.In"Stellaluna"she made us identify with a lost bat; in"Verdi" she made us cheer for a snake who learns to shed hisskin; but now she tackles the impossible:cockroaches!
Crickwing (sonamed because of a twisted wing) is a lonely cockroach.He spends his daysas a "food-stylist", crafting sculptures of his food beforeeating them. But he and his sculptures are easy prey to lizards and otherroach-eating critters.
Tired of being a victem, he decides he is goingto pick on some smaller targets:ants!But the leaf-eating ants are notas harmless as they seem and they swarm Crickwing when his shenanigans gotoo far.Crickwing is not really the bully he seems, and when dangerthreatens both the ants and him, he becomes an unlikely hero!Vibrantand just as engaging as her previous books,though this one is more of acheeky fable then fantasy."Crickwing" just might make you thinktwice before stepping on a cockroach!A terrific companion piece for theaward-winning author.
