Such a cute little book. All three of my children enjoyed; my youngest said he liked her imagination

This was one of the cutest picturebooks I've read in a long time, from the illustrations to the typography to the story. There was awesome use of space on the page, and the colors were the perfect fit for a vibrant story set in nature. Pillbugs (or rather, roly-polies) were such an important insect to me as a child, so to see that reflected in a picturebook was so endearing and fun. I definitely recommend this for any child and any person who just loves insects.

Hank is a pill bug. Amelia is a girl who idolizes Amelia Earhart. They are best friends.

This is a sweet story about a day in the life of a cute bug. It's only a "big" day in the sense that it was full and tiring and fun.

I liked it a lot. Very charming.

This sweet story shows the friendship between a girl and a bug and how their shared day of play and imagination results in an epic adventure for them both.

Sweet story of a bug and the girl he loves... Who happens to also be a girl of color whose favorite person is Amelia Earhart. Lovely illustrations and the kids were intrigued by the view point of the bug.
