What a wonderful bug hotel!
There’s a room for everyone and each one is comfortable and even better – they are all the same.
You would imagine each guest from Molly Moth and Billie Bee to Willy Woodlouse would be perfectly happy to live there. Well they might be, if only the owner Mr Beetle, wasn’t quite so grumpy or insistent his guests follow his Book of Rules.
How on earth can the bugs change his mind?
A wonderful story of how we all have different needs and with a little bit of care and understanding, we can find happiness together.
Look for the Bug Spotter’s Guide at the back of this magical picture book for inspiration to record or create your own creepy-crawlies.
What a perfect way to introduce the idea of bug hotels and inspire young readers to build their own!
