School Library Journal
Gr 2-5--Tales of friendship and adventure abound in this second series installment. In Bug Village, two young beetle best friends, Rhino-B and Stag-B, go camping, participate in a role-playing game, attend a bug library conference, and roam the great outdoors with friends new and old. The stories offer up fun shenanigans with a side of introspection, exploring themes of growing up, identity, and change. Readers will enjoy the natural settings and playful character design, which is very similar to the TV show Adventure Time. VERDICT A thoughtful look at best friends and big emotions. Hand to fans of the first in the series or to anyone in need of an uplifting read.
