Preview: Hear it

Description A hilarious story about one bugs quest for greatness (with some cool insect facts mixed in!). Meet Burt, a tenlined june beetle. Hes sure he has a superpower like other insects. No, he cant carry 50 times his weight, like ants, or spray paralyzing venom, like some termites. What june beetles seem to do best is chase porch lights and lie on their backs flailing their legs in the air ... hmm. Maybe Burt doesnt have any special skills after all ... But when some other bugs get into perilous trouble that even their superpowers cant get them out of, Burt realizes there is one helpful thing only he can do ... Why shouldnt every bug have its day (even the wannabe superhero kind)? Kids will be rooting for this one!
