Although the outside of the house in this story isn't fancy, a myriad of funny adventures await once inside. Those who actually live in this place—the flumps, the sausages, the megas, and maxis—are all there to say hello. Despite their differences, they all get along in their crazy, higgledy-piggledy world. Zany humor and intricate drawings are skillfully combined to surprise and entertain the whole family.

Scritch Scratch

Gregory Sampson woke one morning to discover that he had become a giant beetle. He had a large, purple-brown beetle body. He had two long beetle antennae. And six, thin, hairy beetle legs.' 'Gregory, get dressed and come down for breakfast,' his dad called. When Gregory Sampson wakes up one day to find he has become a beetle, he is pretty upset. But what is more upsetting is that nobody notices! Not his mother, not his father, not his sister, not his teacher. Only his best friend Michael realises that Gregory is now a beetle. Together they try and work out what to do … A brilliantly funny story that has deceptively complex messages, touching on relationships within the family, self-confidence and how others perceive you. A classic of the future. 'Better than Pokemon. I sent this to my eight year old nephew and I hear he's very upset that he's not Beetle Boy. He's memorised much of the book already. It's replaced Pokemon as his reason for living.' A customer from Amazon.com
