Cockroaches by Nigel A JAMES
Cockroaches are not very fussy. They eat all that they can find. And, their favourite dishes are unwashed plates that have been left overnight in the sink. For them, there's nothing more delicious than food that is rotten!
And, the place they love best is under the fridge. It is warm, it is quiet, and it's not far from food! For them it's fantastic!
So, what about your kitchen? Just look behind the fridge if you dare! There might be very many little cockroaches there!
And, what about little Jenny? She lives in London and her cockroaches live in the pocket of a coat in her cupboard. They are friendly and easy to keep. They can look after themselves. And Jenny doesn't have to take them for walks. They go out on their own every night! What could be better?
