Pest Fest

40 pp. | Simon | June, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-689-85569-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kurt Cyrus. After a carpet beetle announces the annual Pest Fest talent show, Ladybug, Butterfly, et al., take turns singing their own praises. The refrains beginning "Pest Fest! Pest Fest!" throw off the book's rhyme scheme, but the text and the art, which shows the bugs to scale against human body parts, will enlighten readers, who will cheer for the contest's unlikely winner.
