A Parents' Guide Award-Winning Book! The winner of the Parents' Guide Award for Outstanding Children's Books, this long awaited sequel to Barry's animal bestiary is a brand new collection of wonderfully witty poems about the funniest bugs on the planet. From the praying mantis to chiggers, kids will discover that the weird and wacky bugs are the most fun. Even the dung beetle, brilliantly illustrated in a tuxedo with formal serving tray, finally gets the recognition he deserves. An index of the featured creatures rounds out the fun with descriptions of each bug and noted entomological characteristics. As First Coast Parent Magazine writes, "If you're not familiar with Barry Polisar's enchanting yet loony brand of children's poetry, try his books. There's nothing sugary about Polisar's writing. Zany and sophisticated, Polisar's poetry is a great way to show the child interested in poetry how much fun you can have writing verse. But it's also an education about the topic of his rhymes.He concludes the book with dictionary definitions of each insect. The illustrations from chiggers to cockroaches to ticks are excellent."
