What the Ladybug Heard

By Julia Donaldson

Book Overview

Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len have a cunning plan: they'll sneak past all the animals and steal the farmer's fine prize cow. But they forget all about the tiniest, quietest creature on the farm--the ladybug. She has a plan of her own. Julia Donaldson turns her literary expertise to a farm setting, and comes up with a rollicking barnyard mystery. Lydia Monks' colorful collage illustrations go perfectly with the story for a winning combination. Readers will quack, neigh, moo, and cheer for the ladybug all the way through What the Ladybug Heard is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Quickly becoming my daughter’s favorite

Good book for little ones to practice animal sounds (ie.. the cow says mooo), identifying when the animal uses the wrong sound ( moo, moo moo said the dog) and working together as a team. Parents will appreciate the fact that the book can reinforce that you can be the smallest and the most quiet yet still save the day.
