Maybelle in the Soup by Katie Speck

What a fun book!  This is a quick and easy read that will delight young readers.  It is told though the viewpoint of Maybelle, a cockroach, and Henry, a flea.  They know the rules of staying out of sight during the daylight but Maybelle craves a bite of good food that is served on a plate and not spilled on the floor.  This craving gets her into trouble and starts an adventure for her and Henry.  They travel with Mr. and Mrs. Peabody to a luxury hotel which leads to even more trouble!  They encounter the hotel's kitchen excitement, a French poodle, and yummy chocolate that they don't come in contact with at home.  After all the excitement at the hotel, they are glad to be back home.  Although Maybelle has learned her lesson about following the rules, she still can't help but dream!
