The Fleatastics

40 pp. | Boyds | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62979-303-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 After a flea family auditions and wins a spot in the acrobatic troupe The Fleatastics, young daughter Sarafleana, a "born jumper," itches to go solo. The book contains winning wordplay ("The greatest show on dogs!"; "grand fleanale") and applause-worthy artistic detail, but the layouts are so chaotic--there's running text, dialogue balloons, and micro-size asides--that it's hard to know what to read when.
