Description:

"My Name is NOT Piglet Bug" is a rhyming story of a little, odd looking insect who, by hitch-hiking on the only human character in the story, Bart the biologist, accidentally discovers that he has another name . . . his scientific name. This name inspires pride in him in a way "Piglet bug" never has. On his way home, he interacts with several different organisms while he tries to figure out why he has unique, yellow paddle forelegs and a bulbous body. The book introduces young readers to the concept of scientific names and attempts to make them less intimidating by using rhymes. A brief history of scientific names and pronunciation instruction is included at the end of the book.

Josh Vlach is a professional entomologist living in Oregon. He identified the first piglet bugs in Oregon, an exotic species from Europe. He loves nature and insects and wants to create books that encourage others to do the same. He was motivated to develop a children's book by the consistently inaccurate depictions of insects in books, television and film.
