What can stop RJ from squashing just another bug? What can Clea do to stop from being stomped on? As RJ's big foot heads for its target, she bursts into song: "Please don't end my life right here on this dusty old road. I've managed to escape a bird, a cat, and a grumpy toad."

That catches young RJ's attention and opens a dilemma. What if his friends see him talking to a bug? What will they think? And what about Clea? Will she and her friends survive the big foot? Can the clever caterpillar befriend RJ and build a friendship?
