Overview"Insects with attitude. When gnats don swords and feathered hats, and a flea named Ralph has giraffe in ""hif mouf,"" it's not long before other crawly insects become bold, too. In this lively collection of bug-centered poems, a grasshopper who's downright tacky chews weeds and spits ""tobacky,"" while a dumb pair of beetles sets out to float across the sea in a tennis-shoe boat. Rob Shepperson's drawings add quiet visual humor to David L. Harrison's quick-witted verse, and the combination of the two creates mind-tickling comedy." Full Product DetailsAuthor: David L.
