Bugville Critters
A First Sleepover Discovers That Quiet Can Be Full of Wonder
By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)
Tim Earthworm worries that his peaceful home will seem boring to energetic friends, so he schedules fast games, an obstacle trail, loud jokes, snacks, and a surprise activity. The rushed evening leaves Tim performing instead of enjoying his own first sleepover.
When the friends pause to watch the purple sky, hear field crickets, ask questions, and share a quiet story, Mushroom House becomes exactly the place they hoped to visit. Tim learns that being a good host does not mean pretending to be someone else; it means opening the door and sharing what you genuinely love.
