What's This Book About
It’s the Grouchy Ladybug’s 20th birthday. To celebrate, we are introducing a new, larger format edition with brighter, more colorful pages created from Eric Carle’s original artwork using the latest reproduction technology. The Grouchy Ladybug is bigger and brigher, as irascible but irresistable as ever and will surely delight new generations of readers, as well as her devoted fans of all ages. Happy Birthday, Grouchy Ladybug!
What Kind of Book is The Grouchy Ladybug
Reviews
While I absolutely adore Eric Carle's books in general and particularly his signature illustration style, the repetitiveness of the wording in this story is great for young readers but becomes a little painful as a read aloud. This book is great for reinforcing telling time (with the clock in the corner of each page showing what time it is) and introduces kids to a host of bugs and then increasingly larger animals. Is it better to fight or to share? The grouchy ladybug might just learn a thing or two.
