Freddie the Fly’s friend Stella the Stinkbug has a problem. Or lots of problems. Some problems are big, and some are small. But every time she faces a problem, she reacts the same way. She BUGS OUT. And you know what happens when a stink bug bugs out? It causes a BIG STINK! With help from Mrs. Monarch, Stella and Freddie learn about different kinds of problems: BIG problems, MEH problems, and NO BIGS. Each problem has an appropriate reaction. Mrs. Monarch teaches Stella and Freddie two important questions to ask themselves, and then the problem-solving can begin! Follow along as Freddie and Stella learn to control their reactions to different problems, and to keep small problems small so they can be easily solved.
