Bugville Critters
A Birthday Adventure About Choosing What Matters Most
By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)
When Mom Bee asks what kind of birthday would make him happy, Buster Bee fills his list with a bugsball game, treasure hunt, parade, obstacle course, costumes, music, balloons, and an enormous cake. The more exciting ideas he adds, the harder it becomes for his family and friends to turn the wish into a celebration anyone can actually enjoy.
Buster slows down, listens, and discovers that the heart of his birthday is not the number of activities but the people sharing them. By choosing a smaller plan and welcoming help, he creates a joyful day with enough room for laughter, friendship, and the moments he will remember most.
