Author Notes:Heather L. Montgomery is passionate about bugs, discovery, and the scientific process. An author and master teacher, she uses curiosity and yuck-appeal to engage young minds. Her most recent books are Unsolved Mysteries of Nature and How Rude! Real Bugs Who Won't Mind Their Manners . Heather has a BS in biology and an MS in environmental education. When she's not writing, she can be found climbing a tree, knee-deep in a creek, or catching bugs with kids in beautiful Alabama.

Stephen Stone has illustrated more than twenty-five children's books. As a kid, he was inspired by the illustrations in his brother's Asterix books. Now he draws inspiration from the charming UK landscape--and bugs!--where he lives. His dynamic mix of traditional and digital techniques celebrates personality, humor, and characterization. www.advocate-art.com/stephen-stone
