Catch the Reading Excitement!
All summer long at the library,
They're having a program that you’ll want to see.
They’ve got lots of books and information
All about the bugs of the insect nation.
Centipedes, millipedes, arachnids
Stink bugs, ladybugs, and katydids
Horseflies, Deerflies, and those aphids
All the moths and their relatives
Get Excited About Reading!
Join in the fun at the library
Learn about insects that you often see.
There may even be some that you can draw
With six legs, feelers, or even a claw.
Bees making honey that’s good to eat
Chocolate covered ants, what a treat
Caterpillars, isopods, and walking sticks,
Even a flea doing circus tricks
Catch the Bug this Summer!
Fireflies, butterflies, dragonflies, too,
Beetles and grasshoppers are waiting for you.
If you’re looking for good reading just come and see
All of the bugs at the library.
Cockroaches, earwigs, and mosquitoes
I’m sure you don’t care for any of those,
But the mealworm beetle, listen to this,
It goes through a metamorphosis.
Catch the Reading Bug!
Don’t shy away, there’s lots to do
Games and crafts to name a few.
So come to the library and see for yourself
There’s lots of insects on every shelf.
Bees making honey that’s good to eat
Chocolate covered ants, it’s surely a treat,
Caterpillars, isopods, and walking sticks,
Even a flea doing circus tricks
Get Excited about Reading This Summer!
