Ladybird, Ladybird

Read the most by: boys and girls

It's shopping day. Mrs Ladybird says goodbye to her five little ladybirds and rushes off ¿ but oh dear, she's forgotten something important! 'Wait!' calls Little Ladybird, and chases after her. Another little ladybird joins the trail on each new page as they hurry after their mother ¿ just in time to give her the forgotten purse at the checkout, and go home together for a wonderful tea. The text is only a few breathless words, but on it hangs a sequence of exquisite tiny pictures of a miniature ladybird world of streets, shops and houses. The combined talents of a very popular author and illustrator have created an irresistible little book which gives small children lots to look at and point out.
