" 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. "
" 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. "
" 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. "
" 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? "
" Great for the younger crowd looking for the ick factor found in books like How to Eat Fried Worms. "
" "that was disgusting" Payton's words "
" This is a funny, gross bug eating spectacular! Would be a huge hit at Storytime. "
