What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Ruby does NOT like bugs! Until she’s forced to spend some time looking more closely at one… A funny story for kids with big feelings and curious minds. When Ruby discovers a bug on her window one morning she FREAKS OUT! She loves animals, just NOT bugs! But no amount of blowing or squirting or yelling will get this bug to go away. It will get Ruby stuck in a time out. With lots of time to study Mr. Yuck-bug, Ruby grudgingly decides he may have some interesting qualities after all. He’s strong. A good listener. And his little antennae might be an itsy-bit cute. Over the course of the day, Ruby gets almost attached to the guy. And when night falls, she sees him in a surprising new way! Allison Wortche and Sally Walker team up to show readers how something can go from gross to great when looked at in the proper light.
