Disgusting Critters: A Creepy Crawly Collection

Look inside
These critters are disgusting — and fun, too! — and now they're brought together for the first time in a new collection! Learn about flies, spiders and worms in this hilarious illustrated nonfiction, perfect for beginning readers.

Flies can walk on the ceiling. Worms have existed for 120 million years. And spiders have four pairs of eyes. What do they have in common? They're all disgusting!

Elise Gravel's Disgusting Critters series has charmed and grossed out thousands of readers. This paperback bind-up of three of nature's most beloved, and yuckiest, creatures — the fly, the worm and the spider — is filled with fascinating facts and hilarious humor that will amuse and teach at the same time.
ELISE GRAVEL is an award-winning author-illustrator from Quebec. She has won a Governor General's Award for Children's Illustration in French, and is well known for her original, wacky picture books and graphic novels. After completing her studies in graphic design, Elise found herself quickly swept up into the glamorous world of illustration. Her old design habits drive her to work a little text here and there into her drawings, and she loves to handle the design of her assignments from start to finish. She is inspired by social causes and likes projects that can handle a good dose of eccentricity. View titles by Elise Gravel
