<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This Children's Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection--now in paperback--tells the story of a lonely cockroach who has a creative idea that saves the day for the leafcutter ants when their fierce forest enemies attack them. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Crickwing never set out to be a bully. All he wants is to create his art in peace. But it's not easy being different--a cockroach with a cricked wing and a flair for sculpture is a ready target for the bigger creatures in the forest. Crickwing just wants to even the score, and leafcutter ants are so easy to pick on. . . .Big mistake. Nobody angers the leafcutter queen and gets away with it.<br> In this epic adventure beneath the foliage, Crickwing and the leafcutter ants go head-to-head. Then a swarm of ferocious army ants threatens, and suddenly everyone is in danger. Crickwing has to do something, but what? He's an artist, not a fighter. What the leafcutters need is a hero. Or, maybe, a cockroach with a really clever idea. . . .<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Text and illustrations are beautifully matched as readers follow Crickwing's positive transformation.--<i>The Boston Globe </i> <p/>Cannon's illustrations skillfully blur the line between fact and fancy, and add a feather to her well-decorated cap.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Crickwing is not only a hero, but an elegant, graceful beauty as well.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>
