Bothered by Bugs is a funny, thoughtful picture book that shows just how important even the smallest creatures can be. Pete the Badger is happily choosing a delicious recipe when his peaceful afternoon is suddenly interrupted by a teeny, tiny fly.
Fed up with the constant irritation, Pete and his animal friends decide to take action. Together, they chase away every last insect in the forest — problem solved… or so they think. Very quickly, things begin to go wrong. Without insects, nobody is left to clean up the poo and when autumn arrives, the forest is strangely empty.
As the animals face the consequences of their actions, they begin to understand the vital role insects play in keeping nature in balance.
Bothered by Bugs delivers an entertaining story with a gentle environmental message, encouraging young readers to appreciate bugs and biodiversity.
