“The Little Squeegy Bug” by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Patrick Corrigan is a very cute tale about how a firefly came to be. He starts out as a tiny bug that no one knew where he came from, he’s not an ant or a cricket or a flea. With the challenge of Buzzer the Bumble Bee and the help of Creepy the Caterpillar and Haunchy the Spider, he becomes Squeegy the Firefly and goes on to light up the night sky.
This delightful story is entertaining for older children, but with lots of details and pages of dialogue, it may be difficult for younger attention spans. The illustrations are very colorful and the large scale often gives us the bug’s perspective on life.
A very cute children’s book!
