Open this story and begin to see the world through the eyes of a bug. Not just any bug but Billy the Roly-Poly Rain beetle. This fable-like tale is about the adventures of a captured beetle who saves the backyard from greedy grasshopper vandals using nothing but gentle persuasion. Billy the Roly- Poly Bug is part diplomat, part adventurer, who uses his clever speech to convince the grasshopper bullies to leave the underground for the joys of jumping and fl ying in the sky of the over-world where he has lived. Come see how the Beetle and a fast footed Podiferous the Centipede save the day! Recommended for ages 3 and up.
