Follow a newly hatched dung beetle as he learns to roll his own ball of dung, and visit a savannah teeming with fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel. Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips and tricks on how to be a dung beetle and featuring laugh-out-loud moments, this tale of savannah life is a perfect introduction to dung beetles for bug-obsessed kids.

This bug book for children offers:

Roly loves living in a dung ball: it’s safe, warm, and comes with all the dung he can eat! But soon he starts to wonder about life outside the dung ball. As soon as Roly has grown into an adult dung beetle, he bursts out into the big, wide world, where he learns how to avoid predators, how to roll his own dung ball, and where to find the best dung for his dinner. Soon, he’s on his own pooper scooper adventure to clean up as much dung as he can!
