Doodlebugs, black widow spiders, ladybugs, cockroaches, crickets, stink bugs, and fleas are some of the creepy-crawly stars of twenty-four mostly rhyming poems. Full of clever wordplay and sly humor, the verses will equally amuse both children and adults. Comical and campy, the watercolors capture the poems' buggy subjects with droll perfection.
