Bookroo's summary
In the buzzing world of insects, a big contest stirs excitement. Damselfly Dilly, unassuming and curious, watches as competitors vie for victory. Who will emerge triumphant in this lively, whimsical tale?
From the publisher
“A rollicking, tongue-in-cheek entree to the entomological world.” – Publishers Weekly In this rousing read-aloud from the creators of Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp, all of insect land is abuzz with news of a big contest! The demure Damselfly Dilly – “neither clever nor frilly” – has no thoughts of winning, but she’s curious to see who will. Lively verse mixes fun, fancy, and fascinating fact, while exuberant artwork virtually flies off the page.
