Some species emerge from the ground every year, while others only come up every thirteen or seventeen years. But no matter how much time passes before they dig their way to the surface, the result is the same: up to trillions of clumsy (but harmless!) insects flying, clicking, and buzzing all around us. Using a combination of rhythmic, rhyming verse and fun facts, this story describes the life cycle of the cicada and helps readers better understand this fascinating insect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFliess, Sue:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSue Fliess\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning, bestselling author of more than fifty children's books including \u003ci\u003eCicada Symphony, The Earth Gives More, \u003c\/i\u003e and the Kid Scientist series.
