The Land of Misfit Bugs
The Land of Misfit Bugs is a story of three bugs who become friends because of their differences. Jeremy is a grasshopper who wears tennis shoes, Webster is a night crawler who is afraid of the dark and Sally is a June bug who was born in March. They decide to team up together because of their peculiarities. Webster thinks he knows a place they can go where everyone is different and they can be happy.
As they travel, they encounter several adventures that help them to become stronger and more understanding of each other. A storm separates them, but they find each other and continue their journey, until they find the Land of Misfit Bugs. This is where they learn tolerance of those who are different.
“Everyone looked at Sally as she spoke. "It's so important to have friends that understand you and accept you the way you are."
Lessons can be learned on several levels when reading this book. It points out that everyone is different in some way and that we need to be tolerant of these differences. It teaches how to become friends with others and understand them. It also teaches how to accept our own differences and be proud of those differences.
The author has written another book that has very good analogies that equate to everyday living. Children will be able to discover and recognize basic acceptance of those who are different. They will also enjoy rereading this book and thereby reinforce the lessons learned.
Jan Krauel is the author of a children’s book entitled Flying Lessons. She has also written several computer manuals. Her talents extend to making jewelry and other craft work. I am looking forward to future books by her.
This book is also available as an ebook through amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
