Little Red Bug

The bouncy, rhyming text of Little Red Bug describes one little bug's search for the perfect place to rest his weary head. On his journey through the prairie he meets other sleepy insects including bumblebees, fireflies, crickets and caterpillars. The story is complimented by realistic watercolor illustrations. This is a perfect nighttime book; the subject is about going to bed and the colors are soothing. Repeating verses allow small children to help with the reading as the story unfolds, yet some larger words will challenge them to learn. The gentle repeating text helps lull little ones to sleep.
