Dig, dig, dig! On one warm spring night, millions of insects push up through the ground at exactly the same moment. They're cicadas, and they've been waiting underground for the past 17 years!

If your child thinks cicadas are just noisy summer bugs, this book is about to change everything. A single male cicada sings at 100 decibels, as loud as a lawnmower right next to your ear, and has to turn off his own hearing while doing it or the noise would damage his ears. Their 13 and 17-year underground cycles are both prime numbers, which scientists believe confuses every predator on Earth. A mass emergence can pack over one million cicadas into a single acre of land. A mother lays up to 600 eggs in a tree branch and flies away forever, leaving each nymph to find its way underground completely alone. Every page delivers something your child will want to run and share.
