Bug Patrol
With loud choruses of “WEE-O! WEE-O! WEE-O! WOO! Bug Mobile coming through!” Captain Bob of the Bug Patrol brings order to the insect world. Whether the task at hand is lining up rude ants engaged in a code 11 (“donut swarm”), finding safer digs for residents of the Roach Motel, or tracking down a missing baby flea, Captain Bob, who resembles a rotund lightning bug with a cap and badge, is on the case. The bright, simply drawn, high-energy cartoon illustrations portray him in his patrol car speeding from one urban locale to another until the long day is done, and then he makes his way back “home to my nest” for a final cozy scene with “the bugs that I love BEST!” Children will gleefully howl out the chorus and also come away with a new appreciation for policebug work.
