No More Bugs!
Katy would rather stay indoors than spend time outside. It’s not the trees, flowers, sunshine, or birds that bother her—it’s the bugs! Creepy, crawly insects make Katy nervous, and she wants nothing to do with them. But when she meets a friendly cricket, she begins to see insects in a whole new way.
As Katy explores the amazing world of insects, she discovers that these tiny creatures play important roles in our everyday lives. Young readers will learn how insects help gardeners and farmers, pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat, and provide useful products such as honey, dyes, and fibers. They will also discover how insects assist scientists, help solve crimes, and even contribute to keeping the environment clean by breaking down waste.
Filled with engaging facts and a fun, relatable story, this educational picture book encourages children to look beyond their fears and develop an appreciation for the important work insects do in nature.
