Illustrated by
Harry Bliss.
Like Diary of a Worm and Diary of a Spider, this book relays real-life information through Cronin's impeccable comedic timing in a way that makes the facts memorable. Bliss's illustrations, including additional pictures on the endpapers, incorporate many witty details. The short sentences and visual jokes make this a great selection for listeners and new readers alike.
