What's Everybuggy Reading: Sam
Bugs and Bugsicles
by Amy S. Hansen
Boyds Mills Press, 2010
One of the advantages of living in a magazine is that I can bounce around and play all year long. This book taught me that most buggies can't stay quite so warm, cozy, and playful during the winter months. For example, if Ophelia weren’t a Spider-dwelling praying mantis, she would have to lay her eggs in a sack with the texture of cardboard to keep them warm and sheltered in the snow and wind. And the arctic woolly bear caterpillar (who looks a lot like me, though not as yellow or handsome) just freezes—he becomes an actual BUGSICLE! In the spring, he defrosts and goes about his buggy business.
Phew! That sounds exhausting. Aside from the occasional fire-breathing dragon, Spider really is the perfect place to live!
