	Print Feature Sheet

At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $16.95 978-1-55337-896-9 Grades: PreSchool to 2 Ages: 3 to 7 Character Education perseverance © 2006 4-color 10 x 9 32 pages	On the lam from the circus, a lion, a lion tamer, a circus mouse and a stinkbug find a small deserted cottage to make their home. The industrious stinkbug sews lace curtains for the windows and chisels a plaque that reads "Home Sweet Home." His lazy companions, on the other hand, won't even budge from bed to switch the boring old weather station on the television! It isn't long before the lazy trio starts to take advantage of the stinkbug's boundless energies. However, they soon learn that it's unwise to push a stinkbug too far. Awards 2007 Books for Young People Award, McNally Robinson , winner Reviews “Funny and punny.” — Chicago Tribune, April 2006 “Fables use a story, often with animal characters, to impart a moral lesson about human behaviour. In classic fable style, Colleen Sydor’s colourful and funny tale ignores differences of size and physical ability, and uses the creatures as embodiments of laziness and greed on one hand, and irrepressible energy and good nature on the other. Both the story and the vivid illustrations have an up-to-date feel, with surreal details…[T]he implied moral of appreciating the one who does all the housework for you is certainly relevant. [A] picture-book fable that makes its point by amusing, not preaching.” — Quill & Quire, March 2006
