Gus is A Bug SUCCESS! HOW SHALL WE PUNISH HIM?

In John's newest video, he states his favorite childhood book is "Gus is A Bug". He challenged the awesomeness that is Nerdfighters to find the author's name or a copy of the book. I think he may have made a mistake. I have located a book called, "Gus the Bug" by Josephine Nobisso. I was wondering if this could possibly be it, and he was confused with the name.

UPDATE: The book has been found! John said so himslef in the sidebar of his Gus video. How shalt we punish him?

If it's the right one (it has the right text next to the pic on the page) it might only be called Gus...; ▶ Reply to This
