Eeee-ooo! Eeee-ooo! Cicadas drone on, clicking and buzzing from dusk
till dawn.
There are about three thousand different kinds of cicadas on earth. Some
species emerge from the ground every year, while others only come up
every thirteen or seventeen years. But no matter how much time passes
before they dig their way to the surface, the result is the same: up to
trillions of clumsy (but harmless!) insects flying, clicking, and
buzzing all around us. Using a combination of rhythmic, rhyming verse
and fun facts, this story describes the life cycle of the cicada and
helps readers better understand this fascinating insect.
