Insects, Bugs & Rock 'n' Roll

WINNER OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE FESTIVALS 2024



From the makers of Why, oh why, am I a crocodile?



Insects, Bugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll is a lively and engaging picture book that mixes music and morals with a lot of humour. 



The story follows a grumpy spider who initially delights in tormenting other insects with his perfectly spun web. However, everything changes when he meets a musically talented fly who opens his eyes—and ears—to the power of harmony, both in music and friendship. Together, they form an unlikely band, touring the insect world and spreading joy through music. 



With fun, rhythmic text, witty musical references and playful illustrations, this book not only entertains but also delivers a heartwarming message about anti-bullying, the power of change , forgiveness and the magic of coming together to create something beautiful. 



This book will have young (and older) readers laughing out loud, tapping their feet and asking for an encore!



"A very CLEVER and WITTY POEM that ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE and is a DELIGHT TO READ to little ones."

"The story is IMAGINATIVE and FUNNY, with a LOVELY MORAL and a HILARIOUS FINALE!"

"My 18mo loved the colourful pictures, with lots of details to look at, a really UNIQUE and REFRESHING set of illustrations. And being a CLASSIC ROCK FAN, how could I not adore 'PINK FLIED' and 'BEETLES' references - truly brilliant! This book will be one of our FIRM FAVOURITES."
