Aww… cutest bug ever! 

Ronald, the snug bug, is napping when the doorbell rings. He opens the door to find a snake saying, 'hello, and be my snack'. There begin his adventures. The poor little bug has to escape caves with spiders, birds, frogs, and so many dangers to get back home safe and sound. He even faces the mighty crocodile! 

This is an adorable little book about how dangerous situations can come anytime, and you have to do your best to be brave and escape, no matter your size. Those who fight to survive have high chances of succeeding, just like our little Ronald, who goes back home and continues his nap. 

The illustrations are wow. Colorful, vibrant, and exactly how kids would like them to be. From the color scheme to the expressions on the predators’ faces, everything is perfect. The text is easy to read, with a few words on each page. The words tumble and swirl to suit the narration. This adds extra zing and humor to the story. I like how the bug has a natural humorous tone that makes him endearing. 

To summarize, Snug as a Bug? is indeed a hilarious picture book with fab illustrations. It is much more than a funny story, though. The hidden moral is something adults can discuss with little ones during playtime. 

I received an ARC from NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and Happy Yak and am voluntarily leaving a review.
