Ladybug Girl by: David Soman and Jacky Davis


















Ages: 4+

Lulu, dressed in a red tutu with ladybug wings, is ready for fun. Her parents are busy, and her brother says she is too little to play baseball with him and his friends, so Lulu is left to play by herself. She wanders through the house and determines there is nothing to do. Venturing outside with her dog Bingo, Lulu finds a varity of things to do. Read about Lulu’s adventures outside in Ladybug Girl.

Ladybug Girl is a cute children’s book. There is a good amount of text in this book, however the text is pretty simple and the story is fast paced. I like that “Ladybug Girl” is written in red throughout the book. Other words are bolded or different sizes. This makes the words pop out from the page. The illustrations go along great with the text, showing a young girl brimming with imagination. They are colorful, detailed, and fun. Many children will be able to relate to the fact that sometimes they have to play by themselves and find things to do. Lulu uses her imagination to entertain herself. Children will learn that by using their imagination, they can find things to do, even in their own backyard. This story shows how everyday activities can inspire creativity and fun. This book may even inspire children to go on their own “adventures” to find things to do on their own. Because of the super hero concept and the activities Lulu performs, I think this book will appeal not only to girls, but also to boys. I believe that his book sends a message of self-confidence to children. Ladybug Girl is an entertaining and positive story that children are sure to enjoy!
