In a big, bustling town lived a girl who loved bugs,

from earthworms to ladybirds, woodlice and slugs

While spiders or ants might make some scream in fright

to her, creepy crawlies were such a delight!

If there's anything to know about Betsy Buglove, it's that, when she's around, no creepy-crawly ever has to worry about getting in trouble. Betsy's not afraid of sticky goo, tangled webs, or even muddy boots, no! On her sixth birthday she receives a special gift, a magic magnifying glass that allows her to speak to her fuzzy, sometimes slimy, friends. So get ready, because Betsy's about to get some serious business done.
