We loved this book as it’s all about mini beasts & nature which has been a topic at School/Homeschooling. We especially like Uncle Ant as we have an Uncle Anthony in our family.

The superworm saved every bug. The wizard lizard found out about the superworm and called for the servant bird and told him to fetch superworm after the lizard told him to find some treasure. While wizard lizard was asleep the bugs wrapped the lizard in a web and took him to the garbage dump. I do recommend this book
