Stanek, acclaimed author of the popular children's books "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches" and "Journey Beyond the Beyond," has selected an irresistible combination for this age group--lovable critters and heart-warming stories. In this book, he collects two favorite Bugville Critters stories -- Have Trouble at School and Break Their Bad Habits -- to create a unique reading experience. The witty narrative, with bountiful critter jargon, boisterous interjections, and plenty of humor, makes for a fun read-aloud, and colorful artwork captures the antics of the critters with playful perspectives and hilarious details. Nonstop action, good-natured critters, and a comical view of going to school and making friends will attract critter aficionados, older siblings, moms, and dads alike. In this story, Lass is having trouble at school. She sometimes feels that she's not as smart as the other bugs until her mom and dad talk to her about how bugs are all different. Later, bad behavior gets the best of the Bugville Critters. They forget their manners, do things they shouldn't, and get into trouble. It is up to a most unlikely bug to show them the right way to behave.
