Description
Join the Lorax-Dr. Seuss's beloved icon of environmentalism-as he introduces children to nine insects currently endangered by human activity. An empowering book that teaches kids simple actions they can take to help protect and save them!
I am the Lorax
and I've come here to say
that some bugs need our help
(and they need it TODAY)!
This rhymed easy-reader narrated by the Lorax explains how insects are vital to life on Earth, and how some of them-including bumble bees, ladybugs, monarch butterflies, and dragonflies-are threatened with extinction. Young children will learn how these common backyard insects help humans to survive (by pollinating our crops, for example), and how humans-including kids-can make simple changes that will help these insect species to survive as well!
Illustrated with bright, cheerful art and full-color photographs, Hug a Bug includes suggestions on growing native plants, reducing energy use to combat climate change, a list of recommended Web sites, glossary, index, and instructions for building a simple bee house. It's a perfect choice to nurture a love and respect for the natural world-as well as a love of reading!
