About The Book

What’s that in the grass? Help Inch and Roly solve an outdoor mystery in this sunshiny Level 1 Ready-to-Read story.

Roly sees something in the grass, but she does not know what it is. Roly, Inch, Dragonfly, and Beetle try to identify it. Is it a tunnel, or perhaps a hill? Maybe it is a snake! Each of the bugs thinks something different based on their different perspectives. In the end, after much panic, Roly identifies the mysterious object, and all the bugs receive a refreshing surprise!

Perfect for enjoying on a sunny day, this Level 1 Ready-to-Read tale is a delightful addition to an adorable series that stars familiar backyard and playground insects and is ideal for beginning readers.
