Reviews

 * Ms. Gardill's homeroom:** We liked that this was a detective story. The illustrations were colorful, they related to the story, and they were entertaining and realistic. The plot was creative, humorous, and flowed well. The bugs were the main characters. They were funny, realistic, and acted a lot like humans. This story can be enjoyed by all age levels. There were a few things that we didn't like: It was confusing. There were too many characters. There was no lesson. The ending could have been more descriptive. Some students didn't like the fact that the characters were bugs. We would have liked more character description.
 * Mrs. Cohen's homeroom:** We liked the fact that it was a mystery. The illustrations were colorful, detailed, and realistic. They go with the story. The background of the pictures added to our enjoyment of the story. The colors were cool. The book was entertaining and hilarious. However, we did think that the ending was incomplete. It needed more details. We weren't impressed with the introduction of the suspects.
 * Mrs. Dusenbury's class:** We liked a lot of things in this book. Brooklyn liked the setting and the funny font. Courtney especially liked the characters. Another girl liked the plot! Christapher liked the great illustrations! Michael just loved the newspaper. Our whole class decided we lived the book! We didn't like the fact that we didn't hear a lot about Zito Mosquito. Amber didn't like the tiger beetle. Courtney didn't like the maggot. We didn't like the mantis.
 * Mrs. Martin's class:** We liked that this was a mystery and every part of the story had to do with bugs.
