Goodman and Merrill Rainey comes something really fun: a radio show in a book! Meet our bug expert: Dr. Doodlebug. Dr. D hosts a radio talk show called \u003ci\u003eOn The Air With Dr. Doodlebug\u003c\/i\u003e, where he answers the burning questions bugs have. Why does a caterpillar get SOOO hungry before . . . changing? How can lightning bugs use less electricity? With terrific repartee and fabulous illustrations, this comic book-style story will enchant bug enthusiasts, their adults, and educators alike. Bring all your questions. Dr. Doodlebug’s got the answers!★ \"Dr. Doodlebug is the friendly and knowledgeable host of a webcast into which other insects call for advice. The questions and answers are substantive and interesting, with just the right level of detail... The insect's-eye point of view is not just fun, it also gives reasons for and meaning to the questions and answers. Rainey's art is integral to the story. Much of it is told in graphic-novel-style panels, and Dr. Doodlebug sketches doodles (of course!) to help answer the other insects' questions. The playful writing integrates plenty of insect puns (e.g., a gnat named Gnatalie), and the colorful cartoon illustrations will easily hold readers' attention. Imaginative and engaging, this mix of fact and fiction makes learning about insects fun.\" —\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooklist, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003eSusan E.
