A boy eats a bug named buss. When the boy goes to the doctor he gets pills to find buzz and capture him. Buzz comes out of the boy’s body through his ear while in the bathtub. When Buzz goes home, he now has to take pills. I can teach about what happens when you get sick and also have the kids predict what will happen when Buzz takes the pills.

Pretty darn cute, though I'm actually grossed out by the idea of accidentally eating a bug and having it float around near my eyeball. Besides all that, the illustrations were immensely entertaining, doing the biggest part of the storytelling job. Lots of closeups of chewed up food and eye innards, heh heh. Would be great for part of a storytime - maybe on bugs? Or being sick? (

When a young boy accidentally swallows poor Buz , a bug, along with his morning cereal, he's prescribed two pills to remedy the situation. Little does he know what is going on inside! In his award-winning signature style, Richard Egielski invents an ingenious behind-the-scenes adventure of two keystone cop-like pills in pursuit of a bug inside a human body. Buz eventually makes his escape, only to discover he has caught a bug of his own. On with the chase!
