Teddy and Bobby are brothers who go to school in Chinatown, New York. They don’t really get along that much but they deal with each other. The only person who causes more trouble for the brothers than themselves is a boy named Arie who is in Teddy’s class. Arie is a big bully who is always looking for someone to pick on. When Arie decides to pick on the bothers on the playground Teddy and Bobby feel as if they have little hope of surviving. Little did they know the tiny surprise cockroach on Bobby’s shirt would scare Arie away. Now knowing Arie weak spot Bobby tries to learn all he can about cockroaches in hopes of keeping Hercules (there cockroach) alive until their problem with Arie is gone. With Hercules life coming to many close calls, Bobby and Teddy must work fast and be creative as possible in hopes of keeping Hercules alive so they are out of Arie’s line of bullying.
After reading this book to the class, I would have them create a Venn diagram and compare cockroaches with a bug of their choice. I would allow them to research any bug they wanted to so they could learn more on a bug that interested them. After they were done completing their diagram I would have them draw the bug they choose. Finally, I would have each student share with the rest of the class their Venn diagram and the picture they drew.
