Product Description

A rollicking rhyme about a contest for bugs that nearly ends in disaster! Do you have six legs? Do you wiggle or crawl? Could YOU be the bugliest bug of them all? When damselfly Dilly hears about the Bugliest Bug contest, she goes along to see who will win. There are fireflies, ladybirds, stink bugs, click beetles, crickets...and some very suspicious-looking judges! Can Dilly alert her insect friends to the dangers she has spotted? Illustrated in a style and colour reminiscent of 1930s MGM cartoons and written in galloping verse, this rollicking tale will delight bug lovers - and haters - everywhere! * By the creators of the popular Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp and Martian Rock. * Nostalgic artwork reminiscent of a 1930s MGM cartoon by one of the USA's hottest children's book illustrators. * Funny and slick, this rhyming tale about a young damselfly who saves the day will delight bug lovers and haters alike!

Useful addition to minibeast themes4
This is a good book to use with young children (3-6) as it has a simple story, lovely illustrations, and introduces a wide variety of minibeasts. Language development is ensured with correct terminology, and the illustrations demand close scrutiny to spot what is going on. An excellent resource book for anyone working with young children.
