Crickwing -- Janell Cannon

<p>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><b>Author:</b> Janell Cannon<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/01/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 48<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.51lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.90h x 10.28w x 0.17d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780152050610<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>44252 / Crickwing<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>PW Notes and Reprints</i> 04/11/2005 pg. 58<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 04/11/2005
