Maybelle in the Soup by Katie Speck


Maybelle the cockroach and Henry the flea live in the Peabody household where everything has to be just so. The two friends know the rules for survival: “When it’s light, stay out of sight; if you’re spied, better hide; and never meet with human feet.” Henry is good at following the rules, but Maybelle gives way to temptation when the Peabody’s have a dinner party. When she ends up on the spoon of one of the guests, the hilarity begins. Never has a cockroach been such a welcome diversion.

  29. I think Maybelle in the soup is a very good book. It is very interesting because it is mainly about a cockroach. But I like cockroaches.
