1,2,3---Today the Maybelle books are officially a series!
« on: August 07, 2012, 06:30 AM »
Hold the bug spray! The day dawns on the release of the newest Maybelle chapter book, Maybelle and the Haunted Cupcake!. Like the first two, it's a Junior Library Guild selection, but this one features an undersized ghost, an ambulatory cupcake, and a picnic ant with a head cold.

And if you think you couldn't possibly read a book about a cockroach---I dare you!

Cockroaches rule.  Normally, when I imagine a world where all the humans have died out, I think of waves of chittering bugs crawling across the landscape, scouring the flesh from their hapless victims.  After seeing that cover, all of them have bows. 

That is the cutest cockroach on earth.  Congratulations.

Congrats! Maybe these books will finally get me over my very very very very negative feelings toward cockroaches.

Let me know how that goes, rab. I have my own problems with cockroaches (Maybelle excepted, of course!).
