Editor's Note
Creepie is not your ordinary little girl. Raised by a praying mantis and a mosquito, she faces new challenges when she heads off to school and meets (gasp!) human beings. Stuck among these bewildering creatures, the sarcastic bug-lover must learn to navigate high school cliques and keep her insect-laden homelife under wraps, while still staying her same Creepie self!

Doing its part to raise a new generation of goth chicks, the Discovery Kids cartoon "Growing Up Creepie" combines Hot Topic sensibilities with kids' general interest in all things gross, icky, and, well, creepy. It's a nice mix, whipped up with a catchy visual flair and plenty of attitude...The series, which debuted on the Discovery Channel's kid-centric spin-off network in September 2006, follows the adventures of Creepie Creechur (voiced by Athena Karkanis), a pixie-ish middle school girl who was raised by insects. Never ones to judge, Creepie's adopted bug parents (a mantis and a mosquito) take in all types, and their extended family includes pillbugs, gnats, beetles, and more...Each episode ends with an educational tidbit related to the story. We learn about spider webs, or frogs' tongues, or what makes Mexican jumping beans jump, and Creepie's enthusiasm for the gross and twisted aspects of biology is sure to match up well with the fascination young viewers will have for that sort of thing...Since I can't imagine a full season of "Growing Up Creepie" arriving on DVD anytime soon (if at all), I'll go ahead and say this collection is Recommended on the strength of the episodes alone, especially if you're looking for something fun to show the little ones on Halloween. - David Cornelius
