(4) K-3 Repeatedly thwarted by larger animals who steal his food, a disabled cockroach named Crickwing decides to take out his frustration by bullying those who are smaller--the leaf-cutting ants. Despite remorse for his bad behavior in the end, Crickwing's whining and grumbling make him an unsympathetic character. Facts about roaches and ants conclude the book, which is illustrated with large, detailed acrylic artwork as well as black-and-white vignettes.
