Story
This circular story begins with a green shoot as it starts to grow. Two damsel flies watch it unfurl and soon more and more bugs begin to arrive. “What is that?” they wonder. Tension mounts with the arrival of a spider and then a large bird and the cycle of life continues. The whole story is told through an invented, lyrical ‘bug’ language, as the insects chat to each other.

Why we chose it
A quirky picture book which celebrates the wonder of the natural world. The invented bug language is a joy to read and the bugs themselves are full of character.

What a young reviewer said
I loved it because it was the first time I was seeing it and I had to work out the story. (Amelia, age 3)
