# Hug a Bug: How You Can Help Protect Insects: A Dr. Seuss's the Lorax Nonfiction Book - Hardcover

by **Bonnie Worth** (Author), **Aristides Ruiz** (Illustrator)

****Join the Lorax--Dr. Seuss's beloved icon of environmentalism--as he introduces children to nine insects currently endangered by human activity. An empowering book that teaches kids simple actions they can take to help protect and save them!****

_I am the Lorax_  
_and I've come here to say_  
_that some bugs need our help_  
_(and they need it TODAY)!  
_  
This rhymed easy-reader narrated by the Lorax explains how insects are vital to life on Earth, and how some of them--including bumble bees, ladybugs, monarch butterflies, and dragonflies--are threatened with extinction. Young children will learn how these common backyard insects help humans to survive (by pollinating our crops, for example), and how humans--_including kids_\--can make simple changes that will help these insect species to survive as well!

Illustrated with bright, cheerful art and full-color photographs, _Hug a Bug_ includes suggestions on growing native plants, reducing energy use to combat climate change, a list of recommended Web sites, glossary, index, and instructions for building a simple bee house. It's a perfect choice to nurture a love and respect for the natural world--as well as a love of reading!
