The Bugville Stories are organized in multiple book sets.
Stories within a set have a central theme which continues throughout
and are told from the point of view of the same character. Buster’s
adventures start with The Bugville Critters Visit Dad and Mom at Work. Lass’s
adventures start with The Bugville Critters Have Trouble at School. Robert Stanek wrote the Bugville Critters books as bedtime stories for his children. The stories address the real issues and challenges his children faced as they started school, made friends, and started to learn about the world around them. The stories provide real lessons about life, friendship, family, our world, the natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment. Robert Stanek's children have enjoyed hearing the tales of Buster Bee, Lass Ladybug, Cat Caterpillar, Barry Beetle, and all their friends for many years. As they got older, they urged Robert to bring his stories to life for other children to enjoy, and that is what he set out to do in 2004. The first Bugville Critters stories were published in 2007 to instant acclaim. Already, more than twelve Bugville Critters titles are available in print and in audio. Look for premium, extended editions priced at $19.95, deluxe editions priced at $9.95, and treasury collections priced at $29.95.

Cool Fact #1: Robert came up with the idea for the Bugville Critters in the 1990s and wrote the first book in 1996. When that book was published in 2007, nearly a decade later, Robert had already completed over two dozen Bugville Critters books. Eighteen of the books already are fully illustrated, the remaining books will be illustrated over the next three to five years.
Cool Fact #2: Robert's children are the ones who urged him to get the Bugville Critters books published and that is what he set out to do in 2004. Once he decided on getting a publisher, it took nearly four years to get the first set of books into print.
Cool Fact #3: To bring the books to audio, Robert began working with voice artists in 2005. It took two years of work with multiple voice artists to get to the release of the first Bugville Critters audio book. Currently, audio is the only place you can obtain the second set of Bugville Critters stories. These eight stories feature Lass Ladybug and will be released in print beginning in 2009.
