Cece Bell.
Unruly ants swarm a donut. Beetles have a fender bender. Captain Bob, racing from call to call, handles emergencies and settles insect-world disturbances peacefully while teaching a few manners along the way. The repeated refrain, "Wee-o! Wee-o! Wee-o! Woo! Bug Mobile coming through!" in a well-metered text will appeal to story-hour groups, as will the colorful acrylics of googly-eyed bugs raising ruckuses.
