Maybelle in the Soup by Speck


This is short book is hysterical, but it teaches a great lesson. Maybelle is a roach who is sick and tired of only having specks of leftovers to eat. She thinks that it is bound to be better somewhere else. Her friend, Henry the flea, tells her to be satisfied with what she has or she is looking for trouble. He tells her he has to be satisfied with being a flea on a cat, when he'd rather have a dog!! But she is sure the "grass is greener on the other side". One day she has her chance when she sees a special dinner being made by the owner of the house. Boy, is she sorry later. Luckily, Henry saves them from the exterminator and gets them out of the house. Their funny adventures have only just begun!! You will laugh so hard at this story, make sure and read it!!
