Big Rig Bugs
By Kurt Cyrus
Book Description
Bugs do the heavy lifting in this unique spin on bugs and trucks in action
Clear that thicket, dozer cricket.
Ants that sift, sort and lift.
Big bug rig, watch it dig.
Ants that sift, sort and lift.
Big bug rig, watch it dig.
Lifting, sorting, digging, and hauling are dirty jobs, but someone's got to do them. So when a construction worker throws away a half-eaten sandwich, a crew of bugs gets to work clearing the area of debris. With a simple text and up-close illustrations, readers will see how bugs and trucks have much in common-that an ant is just like a forklift or a cricket can act as a bulldozer. Kids will be fascinated by Kurt Cyrus's innovative and bold artwork showing each bug's unique way of getting the job done!
"Cyrus offers a creative, appealing comparison between bugs and construction trucks. The bare-bones, rhyming text makes this accessible to even very young children, while the combination of construction trucks and bugs is sure to guarantee its popularity."--Kirkus Reviews
"The closing line, “See you later, excavator,” keeps the rhythm bouncing to the end, and Cyrus’s general concept is unique."–School Library Journal
"The striking, bold digitally created illustrations and the crisp, carefully chosen text make good bedfellows. "— Booklist
