Bibsy Cross and the Creepy-Crawlies

In the third installment of this popular series, Bibsy’s class must create “self-sustaining” pickle-jar terrariums. That means the plants and bugs will live in harmonious balance! But when things go a little off-kilter in everyone’s pickle jars, Bibsy’s instinct to help out gets her into some creepy-crawlie trouble. This book is for regular-pegular ol’ Bibsy lovers and new readers alike! Illustrated by Dung Ho and published by Knopf/Penguin Random House in 2025.

★ “Scanlon once more employs delicious turns of phrase in her beautifully crafted free verse as she pinpoints the seemingly small but very real worries that loom large for children… An imperfect protagonist who’s nevertheless perfectly charming.” — Kirkus
