About this product

Product Information

A bug flies through an open door into a house, through a bathroom, across a kitchen and bedroom and into a living room.where its entire life changes with the switch of a button: it is sucked into the void of a vacuum bag! The bug moves through denial, bargaining, anger, despair and eventually acceptance - the five stages of grief - as it comes to terms with its fate. Will there be a light at the end of the tunnel? Will there be dust bunnies in the void? A funny, suspenseful and poignant look at the travails of a bug trapped in a vacuum.

Reviews
PRAISE FOR Scaredy Squirrel : "Youngsters will go nuts over this one." - Publishers Weekly "With his iconic nervous grin and over-the-top punctiliousness, Scaredy Squirrel is an endearing character." - School Library Journal "The bold, inviting compositions ... and paint-box colors ... add energy." - Horn Book PRAISE FOR Chester : "This sidesplitting metafiction offers further proof of Watt's ... extravagantly fresh, cheeky voice." - Starred Review, Publishers Weekly "Highly Recommended." - Starred Review, Kirkus Review, "A bug flies indoors, is sucked into a vacuum, and experiences the five stages of grief while entrapped. The narrative plays it straight, but the double-page spreads--over 40 of them--tell a far livelier story .... [Watt] includes a clever, visually parallel story about the household's dachshund, whose favorite toy, a knitted, button-eyed dog, suffers the same fate as the bug .... Another funny, visually rollicking work from the creator of Chester and Scaredy Squirrel ." - Kirkus Reviews "The double-page artwork cleverly illustrates these traumatic events with a muted palette and cute, cartoony characters. Much of the humor is tongue-in-cheek. There is plenty of detail in the illustrations that will evoke adult chuckles and encourage children to look closer .... The award-winning author of the "Scaredy Squirrel" series (Kids Can) is back with an equally engaging, if a bit more sophisticated, picture book to delight audiences." - School Library Journal "Mlanie Watt's retro-styled illustrations are kitschy, cool, mid-modern masterpieces . . . Bug in a Vacuum is original, witty, and moving." -  Quill & Quire "In a story heady and intellectually ambitious enough for a jaded adult, yet suited to a child's down-to-earth appetites, a wide-eyed fly gets vacuumed up .... There's a journey, yes, into the light, but it's a happy ending that may just prompt sheer joy at the simple fact of being alive." -  The New York Times
