This is a take off of the Christmas Carol. Humbugg didn’t like parties and when he is invited to one he scares off the young bug. The young bug runs into the mayor and explains the situation. The mayor suggests he check with Humbuggs friends and family to find out why the old bug doesn’t like parties. What he discovers in Humbuggs own records is that he has no family or friends. All of the bugs meet and make a plan. The young bug invites Humbugg to a meeting and when he refuses he tells him it is necessary because of a mistake in his records. Humbugg goes to the meeting and find the mistake is that all of the bugs have declared themselves his family and friends and he was happy from that day forth.

I absolutely LOVE all of The Bugg Books. They were my favorite stories to read growing up. They still are my favorites actually, I just read them to my nieces instead now. They have become their favorites as well. They're the first books they grab on the shelf.

I quit reading this book about 40 pages in. I didn't appreciate the writing style.
