On a quiet and peaceful day in the forest, beaky birds, lemurs and a tomato frog are hanging out by the pond catching, or trying to catch, their meals. Two chameleon friends, Willy and Wally, are also looking forward to their lunch when a rare thing happens. KerBLAPP! - their tongues simultaneously latch onto a passing bumblebug. Who saw the bug first? And who will be the first to let go?
As the two argue and fight, their actions lead to serious trouble and threaten the peace of the whole forest. But when Willy and Wally are forced to use teamwork to narrowly escape the jaws of doom, they recognize the virtues of working together. Can they agree to share the mouthwatering bug after all?
Janet Perlman's own adaptation of her award-winning animated film Dinner for Two, The Delicious Bug will encourage discussion about the many facets of cooperation and friendship and highlight the importance of peacefully resolving conflict.

PreSchool-Grade 3—Expert bug-hunting chameleons Willy and Wally both catch a plump bumblebug at the same time. With their tongues stuck to the winged treat, they argue in a lisp: "But I saw it first. You did noth. Did thoo!" A full-scale battle ensues, complete with "scary faces," name-calling ("Dragonlipsh! Shkunk Cabbage!"), and pulled tails. While the former friends are absorbed in their argument, the insect escapes. The squabbling pair put their differences aside when they find themselves dangling from a branch above hungry crocodiles. Based on Perlman's animated film short Dinner for Two, this book has strong visual appeal. Comical Photoshop illustrations feature sidebar panels that replay the melee between the bulging-eyed chameleons and dizzy, cotton-candy-pink bug. A fun book to share at storytime.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada END
