Welcome to 'The Boys Own Bug Club' Series, featuring two separate stories, Stanley and the Slugs and Boris and the Stag Beetles! Highly readable, packed with both fact and fun, this book is aimed at 6-10 year old boys, and is sure to surprise and delight. It goes like this ... Boring, boring, boring, chanted Stan, who was bored. But not for long! Enter the mysterious Uncle Julian, 'Balthazar Bottomly's Book of Bugs for Boys', a lesson in bug-speak, and a whole new world. For Stanley, this involves the discovery that slugs are bad-tempered because they are bored, and that they are bored because they have no legs and are all boring colors. Stan therefore designs for them a water-based theme park called Euroslug, and renders them colorful with the help of berries and an idea derived from the eating habits of flamingos. Boris, on the other hand, needs to design a new insect-themed costume and name for his father's acrobatic team. Learning that stag beetles are potentially acrobatic bugs, and armed with 'Balthazar Bottomly's Book of Bugs for Boys', Boris discovers that stag beetles are poor fliers, great fighters, and a good reason to embark on a Lego construction project. For both boys, this is the most exciting summer of their lives, and nothing will ever be quite the same again..."
