It was okay I guess. Kinda boring. Elaine was a pretty flat character whose "personality" only consisted of female and annoying. (I used "female" as a personality trait here because a pink bow is the only way to distinguish her in the illustrations from Marvin aside from some tears)
I guess the writer here was trying to make the story "short 'n sweet", a cute little story about a distraught bug for kids. But really over all failed except to bring up a few interesting topics. Several times in and on the cover of this book is the word "adventure", but this story really didn't feel like one. I wanted this story to be cute and enjoyable but it really bored me.
The book is easy to read, which is great, but it's also really easy to skim. I could get the entire context of the book, and make it more enjoyable, if I just looked at the pictures.
This is my first time writing a real negative review about a book and I feel bad that it had to be such an innocent looking one.
