Booklist - 03/15/2021 Brief, sometimes rhyming text chronicles the tale of a bucolic bug living on a log in a bubbling bog, singing happily to himself. Enter a sneaky, smiling frog intent on his next insect meal. But before the amphibian can carry out his plan, a fog descends, obscuring visual details, while the narrator declares: Hear the chomp! Hear the chew! Hear the slurp! Hear the swallow! After three suspenseful, mud-filled spreads the fog rises, revealing a much enlarged (and burping) bug. Geisel honor winner Fenske's deceptively simple story relies on subverting common predator-prey tropes, with hilarious results. The bold, cartoon-style illustrations feature expressive facial features, saturated earth tone colors, and many whimsical details (i.e., the bug in a frying pan). Expect high demand for this clever reader. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
