There is a lot going on in a patch of grass. It all comes to life in this story of a bugmentary. The host is David Antenborough. He presents spiders, crickets, worms, and more with excitement and drama. The story weaves together facts about bugs and life in a small patch of grass in a fun way from a new perspective as the host and director try and shoot a documentary. 

The illustrations are engaging and entertaining. The dialogue keeps things moving. At the end of the book, there are facts and descriptions of each insect mentioned in the book.
