Bothered by Bugs

Bothered by Bugs is a lovely rhyming text about the importance of even the smallest, often overlooked animals.

Pete the badger is enjoying himself, head stuck in a book about jams and jellies, when his peace is interrupted by a teeny tiny fly.

The fly becomes a swarm and soon enough, all the animals in the woods are distressed. Pete and the animals make a unanimous decision to clear their home of these pesky pests.

But with the flies gone, there's not a berry or cherry to be found and no one is around to clean the poop. The once tidy woods are now a mess, and the animals begin to regret their hasty decision.
