What's Everybuggy Reading: Sonya
Bink & Gollie

TOP SECRET INFORMATION ALERT: I'm building a tree house hideout. Since I'm an amazing high-flier, it seemed only natural to build a secret spot way over everybuggy's heads.
My first inspiration was the poem "A Tree House" in this month's Spider. My second inspiration was the book Bink & Gollie. Best friends Bink and Gollie are opposites in many ways (Bink is tiny and likes bright socks and peanut butter, while Gollie is tall, cringes at said bright socks, and prefers pancakes), but they share a love of adventure and roller skating. But the coolest thing about this book was Gollie's AMAZING tree house! It's big and fancy and luxurious—just right for a sophisticated damselfly like me.
Now the only thing I'm missing is a Bink to my Gollie. H'm, Thistle does like peanut butter. . . .
