Buz
Winner:Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award -Grades K-3 (1998)
When a young boy accidentally swallows poor Buz, a bug, along with his morning cereal, he's prescribed two pills to remedy the situation. Little does he know what is going on inside! In his award-winning signature style, Richard Egielski invents an ingenious behind-the-scenes adventure of two keystone cop-like pills in pursuit of a bug inside a human body. Buz eventually makes his escape, only to discover he has caught a bug of his own. On with the chase!

Praise for this book
"In his debut as an author, Egielski is in complete command of his artistic material...A clever concept, executed with style and wit."-' "Kirkus Reviews" "The bright, gaudy, almost plastic-looking illustrations...will get a good poring-over from young readers."'- "The Horn Book" "The perfect prescription for a sick child home with a 'bug'."-' "The Boston Globe"
