All sleepers will adore Buglette—a tidy little bug by day, a messy little sleeper at night. That’s when she tosses and turns and kicks and flips while she dreams of doing BIG things like building mountains and kicking balls over the moon. Whimsical watercolor illustrations of a ladybug family and an endearing story about being different, dreaming big, and learning to be brave will appeal to children with wild imaginations, messy sleepers or not. 

“The watercolor illustrations in nature’s colors are appealing, and Buglette’s action-packed dreams are charmingly depicted.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Many children will recognize their own nightmares in images of the huge, scary crow…and they will savor the little bug's final, victorious standoff.”—Booklist
