“Delightful details will make adults giggle right along with new readers...a lot of fun, especially for reading aloud.” ~Kirkus Starred Review
"...a fun and original early chapter book that should prove popular with all but the most squeamish of readers." ~Booklist
“Maybelle is a cockroach. Ew! But kids will fall in love with the buggy heroine’s sense of humor and taste for yummy food.” ~Scholastic’s Instructor Magazine
Scholastic’s Instructor Magazine named Maybelle in the Soup one of the six best new books for early readers in its Teachers’ Picks list.
A Junior Library Guild selection.
Maybelle is a lovely plump cockroach. She lives with Myrtle and Herbert Peabody at Number 10 Grand Street, in her own cozy little home under the refrigerator.
The Peabody’s like everything JUST SO. And that means absolutely, positively NO BUGS. Maybelle knows it’s best to stay hidden, but she simply adores food. Just once she wants to taste something yummy before it hits the floor. When the Peabody’s invite Very Important guests to dinner, Maybelle ignores the Cockroach Rules and the warnings of her friend, Henry the Flea. She takes a teeny taste of Mrs. Peabody’s Mock Turtle Soup and splashes into the biggest adventure of her life.
