Illustrated by
Eric Brace.
Encouraged by her termite pal Tara, an unpopular stinkbug named Louise becomes excited about entering the upcoming ice-skating contest. Then a big, bullying cockroach named Kiki tries to scare her out of competing. Luckily, Tara won't let Louise quit and coaches her for the big showdown. The colorful and quirky cartoon illustrations add lots of personality to this simple, humorous rhyming story.
