Description

Leo Cockroach, a dedicated but secret toy tester, knows that creating a good toy requires many hours of research, design, and testing. Unfortunately, the CEO of Waddatoy Toys doesn’t appreciate his knack for recognizing the hottest toys—she’s too busy trying to squash the “horrible little bug” with her high-heeled shoe! Students will undoubtedly giggle at Kevin O’Malley’s playful depictions of the insect-size office worker’s occupational hazards and his attempt to find more respect at the competitor’s shop. They’ll also recognize Leo’s scientific approach to product testing and quickly identify the hallmarks of any well-defined invention.
