Bugville Critters
Let’s Play Bugsball
A Playoff Story About Teamwork, Change, and Family
By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)
About the story
Buster Bee and the Pint-sized Pests are preparing to face the Nitpicky Natters in the Little Bug League quarterfinals. But Buster is carrying more than game-day nerves: his baby twin siblings now occupy his old bedroom, some favorite toys have been packed away, and all the changes at Bee House have left him feeling overlooked.
With Barry’s strong hit, Lass’s steady focus, Cat’s careful strategy, and Buster’s dramatic slide into home, the Pests discover how every player contributes to a victory. Let’s Play Bugsball combines championship excitement with a tender family story, helping young listeners understand mixed emotions, changing roles, and the many ways a child can belong to more than one team.
