The engaging story of a tiny beetle with a giant name, from the ever-popular Dick King-Smith.

Omnibombulator is a very small beetle - so small that his parents give him a really long name to make him feel important.

It doesn't seem to help. Earwigs and woodlice still push poor Omnibombulator around, and snails walk across him, making him all slimy.

Then, one day, Omnibombulator sets out to see the world - and discovers just how useful being really small can be. It all begins when he crawls into the toe of a huge old boot for the night, and a tramp with very smelly feet finds the boot . . .
