Buzzy and the Little Critters: A Curious Tale of a Cicada Invasion

Description

Buzzy and the Little Critters: A Curious Tale of a Cicada Invasion, is a story about a boy, a girl, a grandpa, thousands of cicadas, and lots of other hungry critters. The grandpa (an entomologist) helps the children satisfy their curiosity about their own nature as well as the nature of these amazing cicada bugs, who can live underground for seventeen years before they come out buzzing. Buzzy and the Little Critters was inspired by Dr. Roscoe E. Hill, the father of author / illustrator, Kenton R. (Ken) Hill. When Dr. Hill, Professor of Entomology, was asked by a newspaper reporter to explain why cicadas make that loud buzzing noise, he simply replied, "It is just the nature of the little critters."
