James and I LOVE this book. I want my son to have a wealth of experiences and to never be afraid to try new things. What a fun way to discuss adventure and bravery with your child.
PICTURE BOOK
The story was cute, but it didn't really make sense to me. Did the chef really give them bugs to eat? The story confused me.

Kids will be drawn to this outlandish tale of a girl who needs to prove herself a pioneer by eating bugs! Recommended for ages 3-8.
"that was disgusting" Payton's words
The kids loved it--seeing a girl do something "disgusting" seems to be way too much fun. It does streatch a little above their heads they only understand when she eats something. I don't like how long the book is. Too many words to keep Taren's attention.
This is just one of those fun children's books that make you think of things and ask your kids questions never thought of before, like would you eat bugs if someone served them up all fancy in a pasta or cookie?

I did a small group lesson plan with this book in my 2nd grade class and the children loved it! The pictures are really bold and eye-catching; plus the fact that she actually eats bugs the kids find hilarious!
This is a funny, gross bug eating spectacular! Would be a huge hit at Storytime.

"Sometimes I think I am Judy Moody," says Megan McDonald, author of the Judy Moody series, the Stink series, and THE SISTERS CLUB. "I'm certainly moody, like she is. Judy has a strong voice and always speaks up for herself. I like that."
For Megan McDonald, being able to speak up for herself wasn't always easy. She grew up as the youngest of five sisters in Pittsbur...more
