An EarthBot’s Sltn Plstc Plltn

Descripción

A hilarious story about an insect’s quest for greatness (with some interesting insect facts mixed in!). Meet Burt, a ten-line June beetle. He is sure that he has a super power like other insects. No, it cannot carry 50 times its weight, like ants, or spray paralyzing poison, like some termites. What June beetles seem to do best is chase the porch lights and lie on their back with their legs flapping in the air … hmm. Maybe Burt doesn’t have any special abilities after all … But when other critters get into dangerous trouble that even their superpowers can’t get them out of, Burt realizes there’s one useful thing that only he can do … Why? Shouldn’t all bugs have their day (even the ones who want to be superheroes)? Kids will be rooting for this one! Ashley Spiers brings her trademark deadpan humor to this hilarious story about an insect’s quest for greatness (with some interesting insect facts mixed in!). Meet Burt, a ten-line June beetle . He is sure it belongs to the category of critters with super power abilities. No, it cannot carry 50 times its weight, like ants. No, it cannot spray paralyzing poison, like some termites. No, it cannot release a bad smell to repel predators, such as stink bugs. June beetles are notorious for chasing porch lights and flapping their legs in the air, does that count? Hmm … Maybe Burt has to accept the truth. June beetles have no special abilities. But when some other bugs find themselves in dangerous trouble that even their superpowers can’t get them out of, Burt suddenly realizes there’s one thing he can do to save his friends, and it’s something only a June beetle can do. . !
