Shoebag (Apple Paperbacks)

Rating:
Summary: Where's the Pixar Studios adaptation?
Review: A cockroach awakens one morning to find that he has been transformed into a human boy. Named Stuart Bagg by his caring adoptive family, he makes friends, copes with bullies, and longs to return to his cockroach family. This is a lively and imaginative story with an amusing cast of characters. I found it odd that the Biddle family's reaction to finding a naked boy in a closet of their home was to adopt him without contacting the authorities, but my 5th grade students didn't bat an eye.

Summary: Shoebag is seriously amazing.
Review: I tend to read more than my agelevel's usual quotient of children's books, and this one is really, really, reallyreally good. Plus, it includes the 'Cockroach Prayer for the Dead' which I use fairly frequently in real life.. this book is more than worth it.

Summary: Shoebag
Review: Out of the seventy-five books, I've read this year, counting last year altogether. My most favorite book is Shoebag. The author is Mary James. There was a boy who became a cockroach and was adopted by the Biddles. Pretty Soft is a Tiolet Paper commerical girl. I will rate this book 5 stars because it is funny. The characters have funny names too! And they're also funny.
