Maybelle in the Soup

58 pp. | Holt | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8092-6 $15.95
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul Rátz de Tagyos. This book introduces an unlikely pair of protagonists--Maybelle, a stylish cockroach, and Henry, a wise flea. Henry lays low, but Maybelle craves adventure. Illustrations from a variety of perspectives reinforce the humor, and spot art breaks up large chunks of text. The capitalization of certain words and phrases helps children recognize nuances of tone.
