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!
