"This beginning-reader comic finds its strength in a common developmental challenge and literary trope: trying to convince someone to try an unfamiliar food."
– Horn Book, November/December 2023
"This format will entice children who are drawn to the graphic style and feel. Fenske’s brightly drawn, expressive bugs are adorable, and the story flows and moves quickly. VERDICT Buy it. Kids will have fun reading the banter between Bug and Trilobite"
