A richly colourful minibeast adventure from Kate Read, multi-award-winning creator of One Fox: A Counting Book Thriller.
The Big Bad Bug, a self-proclaimed 'very rare species' is used to getting his own way, but claiming a giant berry all for himself is a step too far . . . Will he ever learn to share, and mend his bullying ways?
This bug's eye view from the bottom of the garden will entrance any young child and show them the value of kindness and community. The Big Bad Bug is the perfect picture book for minibeast fans.
A counting book thriller definitely sounds like a new genre. The gripping drama, by debut author and illustrator Kate Read, is set in a moonlit farmyard, with close-up illustrations of a fox on the prowl. It will have you and your children sitting on the edge of the bed. Will the fox get the hens? There is something different to count on every page, to help learn numbers from one to 10 I News
Lovely, potent, brightly colored illustrations . . . Little ones will eagerly count in subsequent readings as they also learn new descriptive vocabulary and cheer for the brave hens. A classic scenario flips the script in this engrossing adventure. Kirkus - Starred Review
