How Rude! Real Bugs Who Won't Mind Their Manners

Heather L. Montgomery writes books for kids who are wild about animals. Her subject matter ranges from snakes to snail tongues – the weirder, the wackier the better. With a B.S. in biology and an M.S. in environmental education, Heather’s specialty is using yuck-appeal to engage young minds. When she’s not writing or working with kids, you can’t find her knee-deep in a creek, canoeing a canyon, or up in a tree.

Amanda Noll is a writer. She lives in Spanaway, Washington. Howard McWilliam has won awards for his artwork, including National Young Cartoonist of the Year (UK), and has contributed art to a wide range of magazines and newspapers including, Child Education, The Daily Telegraph, Nursery Education, and The Week.
