EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
Maybelle is a cockroach who lives with the Peabodys. She follows a set of rules like: “When it’s light, stay out of sight; if you’re spied, better hide; and, most important of all, never meet with human feet.” But just once she would like to take food before it hits the floor! When the Peabodys have the Snodgrasses over for dinner, Maybelle gets her chance. Unfortunately she falls into the turtle soup and is discovered. A romp ensues. Maybelle and her flea friend hatch a plan to avoid the exterminator and all works out in the end.
This delightful chapter book will be enjoyed by all.
