I adored [b:Go Away, Big Green Monster!|159061|Go Away, Big Green Monster!|Ed Emberley|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1388189624s/159061.jpg|153526] and my kids liked it too. But this is a fail. The lightning bugs dialogue is kinda cute, but doesn't fit at all and is distracting. And of course the message is bad - the solution to the problem is that the bully gets squashed by a bigger bully? ( )

Love the way the sneaker squashes the bug at the end - very engaging where you see one part of the foot and then the whole. ( )

The Big Bad Bullybug arrives to harass the Itty-Bitty Baby Bugs. He arrives in a spaceship and remains mysterious, slowly revealing his body parts that he will use to bother the Baby Bugs. First, through circles cut in the page, we see the three green eyes that he will use to scare the bugs. Then, we see three upside-down triangles, the teeth that he will use to eat the Baby Bugs. He continues by revealing his mouth, his ticklers, his feet, and the rest of his body. All the while, the Baby Bugs are begging him not to hurt them. Luckily, just as he is about to eat them, a big shoe comes and squishes him. The Baby Bugs are sure relieved!

Another one of my favorites! It's really cool and I like that we get to stomp on the bad bully. ( )
