Perfect for reading aloud, this spare, charming picture book about a day in the life of a pill bug in suburbia is also about an unusual friendship. Hank is a pill bug with a busy life--for a pill bug, that is. His daily routine involves nibbling a dead leaf, climbing up a long stick, avoiding a skateboarder, and playing pretend with his best friend, a human girl named Amelia, in her backyard. And when day is done, Hank likes nothing better than returning home to his cozy rock.
My 3 year old son loves this story about a pill bug (roly poly). The bug, Hank, sets out and has to walk up a stick, and through a crack and over some chalk art and then finds a little girl who becomes his friend and takes him on great adventures. You can see the "HUGE" world through the bug's perspective laid out in a small area of a back yard. I think it reminded me of my childhood when I would circus-train pill bugs all day.
