Product Description
A buggy sequel to Later, Gator. Teddy's brother, Bobby, is a real pest. Not only is he sickly sweet and good with adults, but he has some strange friends-bugs. So when the school bully singles out Bobby for some special treatment, Teddy is reluctant to come to his rescue. But that's what big brothers are for, right? Soon Teddy realizes that Bobby can save them from the bully. Bobby has a pet cockroach that will keep anyone at arm's length; or perhaps the answer lies in a batch of mysterious cookies from Bobby's creepy friend, the Bug Lady. Filled with humor and warmth, this creepy-crawly tale is a tribute to resourcefulness and the unique relationship that only brothers share.

 Cockroach Cooties December 13, 2007
Cockroach Cooties is a good book because it is about two brothers that didn't really like each other but they found out that they could actually get along. The setting is Chinatown in San Francisco. One of the themes is that sometimes you can make friends with bullies. This is a great book for fourth graders but all ages would enjoy reading it.
 wonderful brother tale August 9, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am an adult who loves children's books and I found this one charming. It reminded me very much of my nephews, both the portrayal of the complex of sibling rivalry -- the older brother here thinks he is the only one with the right to beat up the younger one so he protects him from bullies while reserving the right to whack at him himself, the contrasts in the two boys' personalities, the way the younger one loves bugs while the older one is horrified by them. The relationship with the bully rings true for school boy fights as well as the discovery the brothers make about why the bully is so mean and the truce they develop with him. Lots of humor and gently affectionate, I can't wait to read it to my nephews.

Streetwise Teddy avoids bullies and trouble but his younger brother seems to invite them and Teddy finds himself on the losing end of a bully's wrath in this gentle story about brothers, friends, and pets. Add a Chinese family's interactions and you have a warm and involving story.
bugs to bullies! March 30, 2000

Bullies are a problem in schools and Yep's gentle story of two brothers working together to outwit the bully works on many levels. Using the fascination with insects is an effective plot device that will keep 8 - 10 year boys interested in a story that could help their social skills.
