The Bug Next Door Summary

The Bug Next Door by Beatrice Alemagna

Little Speckled Bug is in bed with a cold when a mysterious new neighbour comes knocking at his door. He has never met a girl bug before, and is excited and captivated by how different she from him. But as they talk about what to eat and what to play, Little Speckled Bug realizes that they just can't agree on anything. It seems like little boy bugs and little girl bugs are just too different to get along with each other... But then again, she makes him feel so happy!

This third book from the charming world of Bugs in a Blanket is a simple, endearing story about difference, tolerance and identity. Illustrated through warm, texture-rich felted wool and fabrics, this cosy book is perfect to share with little ones at bedtime.

The Bug Next Door Reviews

'three cheers for Phaidon ...perhaps even more charming than its predecessors. ... inventive ... a totally believable world of little characters...The Bug Next Door explores friendship, gender and attraction in a beautifully understated, very human way.'
