BUZZY AND THE LITTLE CRITTERS: A Curious Tale of a Cicada Invasion, is a story about a boy, a girl, a grandpa, thousands of cicadas, and lots of other hungry critters. The grandpa (an entomologist) helps the children satisfy their curiosity about their own nature as well as the nature of these amazing cicada bugs, who can live underground for seventeen years before they come out buzzing. Buzzy's dream scene is especially exciting!

Following the story (in this early reader's book) are several pages of scientific information and fun facts about these buzzing bugs - plus a chart showing where they will appear over the next several years.

Boone Scalcione A real 7 year-old boy Wellfleet, Massachusetts

“I liked that the book had a boy in it with my name and that it was about insects and animals. I liked when Buzzy head-butted the blue jay to protect the cicadas. I learned that I will be 16 when the cicadas come out again in the year 2025 in Massachusetts. I read it to my little brother, Gus. He liked it too. He asked me to read it to him again.”

James Kalisch, Entomologist University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska

“This is a cool little book! I love it! The illustrated story is a fun and interesting way to share the exciting world of insects with young readers and launch them into further investigation. I am impressed with the thorough, accurate facts and reference material to back up the story. A good story and good science.”

Maggie Hanelt Children’s Librarian Truro Public Library Truro, Massachusetts

“A fun story combined with factual details about the life cycle of cicadas makes Buzzy and the Little Critters a good fit for any child interested in these fascinating and important insects.  I recommend it for all bug lovers!”

Margie Lawler, Teacher-Librarian / Beverly Cleary Elementary School Portland

Buzzy and the Little Critters is a well-written story that reads well. After reading it to over one hundred of our kindergarten students, their collective response was, ‘It’s good. We like it.’ My second graders agreed. They particularly liked the dream scene and superhero, the interesting facts and wonderful illustrations. I believe the story is a great format for a classroom teacher to use, especially if students are learning about the life cycle of an insect.”

“Buzzy and the Little Critters looks great! I shared it with my Children’s Book Illustration class, and they were all charmed!”
