THE BUG GIRL

The Bug Girl Sophia Spencer and Margaret McNamara Illustrated by Kerasco?t On Sale: 2/11/2020 Hardcover: 9780525645931 GLB: 9780525645948 EL: 9780525645955 Ages: 4?8 Theme: Science & Nature

Sophia Spencer has loved bugs ever since a butterfly landed on her shoulder--and wouldn't leave!--at a butterfly conservancy when she was only two-and-a-half years old. In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies . . . but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether. When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in.

1 Start by painting the bottle caps two-thirds one color and one-third another.

When the babysitter is unable to come, Daniel is woken out of bed to join his parents as they head downtown for their jobs as nighttime office cleaners. But this story is about more than brooms, mops, and vacuums. Mama and Papa turn the deserted office building into a magnificent kingdom filled with paper. Then they weave a fantasy of dragons and kings to further engage their reluctant companion--and even encourage him to one day be the king of a paper kingdom.
