(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf. Loizeaux stands Kafka on his head, as young cockroach Clarence awakens as a roach-sized human. Shocked, the other cockroaches quarantine him. When they're spotted in the kitchen and an exterminator is called, it's up to Clarence to work out a truce between the cockroach colony members and their human hosts. Amusing black-and-white illustrations enhance this quirky and amiable adventure.
