A Bug Called Doug Chris Collin

Publisher Marketing: It's Drew's eighth birthday and his best mate Mikey is sleeping over. The boys are having the best day ever! There are new toys to play with, Yummy birthday food to eat, Birthday games to share, A hideous monster under the bed... Did someone say monster?! Discovering something under the bed, causes instant panic in the two boys. When Mum and sister Daisy get in on the act, pandemonium erupts! Chris Collin and Megan Kitchin (author and illustrator of the wild and whacky Funky Chicken: A Bushy Tale of Crocs and Chooks) have teamed up again to bring you this delightfully Australian romp of a story that teaches us all a gentle lesson about preconceived ideas. Book Review "Giving Doug a voice is a clever device. This voice channels information to children about himself and other Australian native wildlife; about the land and sea, our wonderful deserts and sands, the wombats and lizards and countless other Australian animals and insects. This is another beautifully presented book, carefully designed to engage, interest and educate children about Australian wildlife. It makes children aware of protecting all living things, and helps them understand how things are seldom how they first appear. At the end there is a whole page of information about the Giant Burrowing Cockroach which will amaze." - Kids Book Review
