Speck, Katie and illustrated by Ratz de
Tagyos, Paul Maybelle and the Haunted Cupcake 64 pgs. Henry
Holt and Co, 2012. $12.23. (Rating: G)
Maybelle is a
girl cockroach who knows how to keep safe –only go out at night. When an ant
with a wild streak risks her life over and over to get treats during the day for
her –calling her a queen, Maybelle gets a bit wild herself. When an attempt to
steal a cupcake goes awry –the entire household wakes up and Maybelle and her
friends are in danger.
Despite the fact
that I don’t care for bugs and found that component a bit cringe worthy, it was
actually a fun story –and I think students will love the point of view of the
bugs! Plus the mention of treats is always a bonus –even if bugs are eating
them!
