Bothered by Bugs [Hardcover]

Bothered by Bugs is a lovely rhyming text about the importance of even the smallest, often overlooked animals.
 
Pete the badger is enjoying himself, head stuck in a book about jams and jellies, when his peace is interrupted by a teeny tiny fly.
 
The fly becomes a swarm and soon enough, all the animals in the woods are distressed. Pete and the animals make a unanimous decision to clear their home of these pesky pests.
 
But with the flies gone, there's not a berry or cherry to be found and no one is around to clean the poop. The once tidy woods are now a mess, and the animals begin to regret their hasty decision.Emily Gravettfirst sprang into the limelight with the ground-breakingWolves.

Kirkus"Gravett’s art is delicate, detailed, and humorous; the animals and insects alike are expressive, and readers will linger over one spread that’s entirely wordless except for the labels on the translucent jars, each with a bug inside."School Library Journal, Starred Review
