Big Surprise in the Bug Tank

48 pp. | Dial | February, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2874-3 $14.99
(2) K-3 Dial Easy-to-Read series. Illustrated by Joan Holub. Seldom has the plea "Can I keep it?" been made for keeping cockroaches, as junior entomologists Leo and Sam (Breakout at the Bug Lab) discover when they try to peddle the offspring of their pair of the giant hissing variety. The energetic narrative incorporates spot-on wordplay for the beginning reader audience; insect references; and a few creepy-crawly similes to add flavor.
