Bookroo's summary
Lulu and Sam can't agree on what to play at the playground. Lulu loves the monkey bars, while Sam prefers the sandbox. But when Lulu introduces the game of Ladybug Girl, they transform into superheroes, Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy, to save the playground from imaginary monsters and robots. As they join forces, new friends are drawn into their imaginative world, forming the Bug Squad. Can they learn the power of teamwork and compromise to create fun for everyone? Discover how imagination and cooperation can turn a simple day at the playground into an epic adventure.
"She has been waiting forever to go to her favorite playground- the one with the twisty slide and the bouncy dinosaurs."

From the publisher
This hardcover picture book in the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl series explores themes of making friends, compromise, and imaginative play at that favorite preschool place—the playground.
Lulu and her dog Bingo meet up with Sam on the playground and want to play together. Sam likes the sandbox but Lulu thinks the monkey bars are better. They just can’t agree…until Lulu asks, “Have you ever played Ladybug Girl?” Quickly, Sam becomes the brave Bumblebee Boy, and he and Lulu, a.k.a Ladybug Girl, are superheroes who save the playground from scary monsters and mean robots. New friends want to join their game too, and soon the Bug Squad is formed with Ladybug Girl, Bumblebee Boy, Dragonfly Girl, and Butterfly Girl using their imaginations to keep the playground safe.
For fans of Toot and Puddle and The Amazing Adventures of Bumblebee Boy, the Ladybug Girl series honors friendship, cooperation, and a love of the outdoors!
