Description
Pug is snug on his rug. But what happens when along comes BUG?! With a claim to the rug?! The two engage in a hysterical, rhyming battle of wits and strength until Slug asks the necessary questions and helps them find common ground. Rhyming is an important developmental reading skill. It teaches phonics (decodable text) and helps young readers infer content. This is a fun story to build those skills--and is an epic read aloud!
San Francisco Book Review - Bug on the Rug
“…a fun rhymer with a story that will engage little ones without them ever knowing they are learning some good life lessons about friendship and getting along with others.”
Kirkus Reviews - Bug on the Rug
Booklist - Bug on the Rug
“Throughout, the rhymes are inventive (the pug is “aghast” and has to work “fast”), and the rug rivals’ words have great texture, like the bug’s sniffling “BIZZLE. BIZZLE. BZZZ! BZZZ!” The cartoonlike illustrations are loaded with comic detail, including having the pug, bug, and slug all look repulsive, giving an “ewww” impact to their fights. Their varied tactics and thought bubbles are hysterical. A fun way to build reading skills through exposure to rhyming.”
