There are twenty-eight places on the Bug Rug. Leo has counted them. Twice.

Unfortunately, there are twenty-nine children who want to sit on it.

What begins as a perfectly ordinary fight for space soon becomes a full-scale struggle involving elbows, knees, increasingly complicated negotiations and a rug that suddenly seems much, much smaller than it did five minutes ago.

The Battle of the Bug Rug is a funny story for kids about sharing, stubbornness and what happens when everybody decides they absolutely must have the same tiny patch of carpet.
