They might be little, but these bugs are ready to dive into an adventure which will leaves kids wanting more.
Sheldon and Jared both want to be Protector Bugs, but neither is as strong and powerful as the beetles who usually fill this position. When the contest comes to see who the next Protector Bugs will be, Jared gives his best while Sheldon decides bookworms like him shouldn't even bother to risk an attempt. Fate, it would seem, has other plans.
This is a picture book packed with adventure and speeds on through from the beginning to the last page. Sheldon and Jared are quickly introduced with few words, but that's all which is needed to get the story underway. Each personality is brought across clear enough for kids to understand why these two doubt their abilities to become protector bugs. Especially a short tale by a past Protector Bug and his battle against a tentacle monster makes it crystal clear that only the strongest bugs can handle such a position. This little story was a delight in itself.
The illustrations are very bright, colorful and have just enough details to invite young readers/ listeners to flip through them again and again. The pictures support the words, and add a nice touch to the story.
There are many messages in these pages--bullying, self-confidence, not giving up, helping others and more. Never do these come across in a preachy fashion, but flow seamlessly with the story.
Summed up, this is a fun read for kids ages four and up.
