Oh No! There's a Bug on My Rug

Imagination runs wild in this whimsical, bedtime adventure!

It’s bedtime, and Bella is all set to snuggle in for the night—until she spots something on her rug. Is it a bug? A huge, sticky, slimy, 9-legged, 16-eyed creature just waiting to crawl up and eat her pug?! Bella’s imagination takes over as she pictures the scariest, most ridiculous bug imaginable.

But what’s even scarier than seeing a giant bug? Not knowing whether you really saw anything at all! With all the strange sounds and shadows in the dark, Bella must face her fears and figure out what’s lurking beneath her bed (or in this case, on her rug). Is it a bug, or is it just her imagination running wild?

Oh No! There’s a Bug on My Rug is a charming, rhyming bedtime story that celebrates the playful nature of childhood imagination. With humorous illustrations and a heartwarming ending, young readers will learn about the everyday bugs that share our world—and maybe even find a little bravery along the way. Perfect for children under 7, this story is a fun bedtime read for parents, grandparents, and caregivers, complete with an educational glossary of real bugs at the end.

Adam Ellison is a world-acclaimed author (at least, according to his wife) and the creator of some of the most beloved children's books in his family, including Oh No! There's a Bug on My Rug, Oh No! There's a Mouse in My House, and Oh No! There's a Snake in the Lake. His stories are known for their playful rhymes, hilarious adventures, and just the right amount of educational fun.

When he's not writing, Adam can be found in the whirlwind of family life—chauffeuring his kids to ballet, soccer, tennis, school, gymnastics, camp, parks, museums, the grocery store, the dentist, and sometimes even urgent care. Despite the chaos, he wouldn't have it any other way.
Adam lives in Los Angeles with his beautiful family and loves reading to his kids before bed. The sound of their infectious giggles, especially when they're supposed to be "calming down" and "getting ready to fall asleep," is one of his favorite things. His guilty pleasures include 90s pop music and Girl Scout cookies. And while he's doing his best to be the cool dad, his kids seem to grow up a little faster each day—and somehow find him more annoying with each passing year.
 
Adam's books are filled with imagination, humor, and everyday adventures that kids love.
