So Bob skittered up the hill as fast as his little legs could carry him. After stumbling over many rocks, he finally reached the top where all the dung beetles were gathered for the feast. He scuttled up to the line.
Captain Rust called for attention. Then he lifted one of this tiny antennae, starting the feast! Bob and his friends *swarmed the ox dung like the first wave of a wave pool*. It was complete chaos.
I'll continue it, but I just don't want to say, "to be continued..." Well, I just said it, so there.

Jacob, I absolutely LOVE these autobiographical sketches...you know what they remind me of? Gary Larson's cartoons. He tells us SO much about the life of his bugs by his drawings (so precise) but slathers humor all over the "autobiography." I think you're on to something here for kids: a science-y book on the life of little things you notice. Your images are so clear -- and accurate -- and funny. Hmmmmmm. Think about compiling these. Think about a book for kids with drawings from the perspective of the pine cone and dung beetle and...? Wow!!!! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteYes, Mom, I totally agree about your first point. Jacob, all week long I get so eager to read about your next character!! I really like you write about a different one almost every time!!! LZ
