Description
Follow a newly hatched dung beetle as he learns to roll his own ball of dung, and visit a savanna teeming with fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel. Roly loves living in a dung ball: it's safe, warm, and comes with all the dung he can eat! But soon he starts to wonder about life outside the dung ball. As soon as Roly has grown into an adult dung beetle, he bursts out into the big wide world, where he learns how to avoid predators, how to roll his own dung ball, and where to find the best dung for his dinner. Soon, he's on his own pooper scooper adventure to clean up as much dung as he can! Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips on how to be a dung beetle, and featuring laugh-out-loud moments, this tale of savanna life is a perfect introduction to dung beetles for bug-obsessed little ones. Made in collaboration with the Royal Entomological Society, facts are blended seamlessly into the action, while hilarious illustrations from Steven Wood will engage even the most reluctant reader.
