Everyone's favourite june beetle learns about the many different places insects call home.

Burt the Beetle wants to find the perfect home to settle down in. But what might that look like? Burt's impressed as he checks out the homes of his insect friends - a monarch's chrysalis, the ants' underground tunnels, the bees' hive. They're amazing, they just don't quite suit Burt's size, his building skills - or his sticky legs! He's starting to get discouraged. But when a rainstorm sends him scurrying for cover under a leaf, Burt begins to understand what home feels like for him!

Bugs rule! Fact and fiction wrapped in hilarity will keep kids laughing while learning about insects! (From Kids Can Press)
