Blue Bug and the Bullies

Madeleine found this at a little thrift store near her apartment.  While she was in the book section she sent me a photo of the cover and I said "Get it!!".  

Blue Bug and the Bullies
Virginia Poulet
illustrations by Donald Charles 1971

 This is a great toddler book with adorable insect pictures.  Little blue bug is bullied by other critters such as spiders, a praying mantis, a hornet, a dragonfly, etc...  Each page is a single verb of how little blue bug gets away.  He runs, hangs, crawls, digs.  Finally blue bug takes a stand and it's his bullies' turn to skedaddle.  This would be a fun one to act out too.
