This picture book follows the story of an eager cockroach and his family who hitch a ride to school — with hilarious results. For fans of I Don't Want to Be a Frog.

Everyone’s favorite cockroach from Your Birthday Was the Best! is back, and this time he’s going to school . . . and bringing his whole family along for the ride!

Charming, hilarious and just a tiny bit disgusting, this is a school tale with a twist.

"The kooky cockroach’s unwavering, happy-go-lucky obliviousness cannot be exterminated, and this picture book offers laughs along with a dose of gross." —Booklist
