The challenge

Clip art - Barkley

Design a reading bug!

Barkley’s exploring the Book Fair Garden, looking for the reading bug. Can your pupils help him to find it?

Ask your pupils to draw a picture or diagram of what you think the reading bug might look like. Could it be a stick insect, a ladybird or something completely different?

No one has ever seen one before so it’s up to you – but the one thing we do know is that it loves books! The most original entry will win the prizes listed.
