This fanciful collection of poems describes bugs of all kinds--from a gnat with a sword who tries to fight a bat (and loses) to a praying mantis whose prayers are answered when lunch comes along. The short, silly poems include several for two voices and are accompanied by creepy-crawly line drawings.
