The Very Lazy Ladybug

I originally borrowed this book from the library. We renewed it the maximum number of times (9 weeks) then returned it late. The poor thing was on it's last legs. After returning it we missed it so much I had to buy it. It's an adorable story; fun to read for the grown-up and not too long when you are tired and just want to get the kiddo to bed. My 3 year old daughter loves it too and reads along with me...

Very cute, entertaining story. Nice pictures. Worth a lot more than the price paid!!

I read this to my triplets that are 2 years old and they absolutely loved it. Each time I turned the page and they saw the big animals they tried to do the animal sounds and loved how I raised my voice and hit the book when the ladybug hopped onto different animals. I highly recommend this for younger kids.

I have been reading this to my daughter since she was 3 or 4 months old. She gets fussy if I try to read another book, but as soon as I start to read this one, she calms down and listens. I don't know if it is the story or the pictures. I am trying to find one that catches her attention as well as this one. Any ideas???

The previous reviewers have already described the story very well so I won't add to that. I just want to describe the excellent way in which this book was built which is something you really can't tell from the Internet.This book is of very excellent construction, is a very pleasing book to hold, should stand up to your kids' abuse and is an excellent addition to your collection. This book is like a giant board book. The book's dimensions are about 9"x11" so it's very significant which really helps bring the wonderful illustrations to life -- no squinting to see the pictures! Also, the pages are very thick -- like a board book -- except that the pages are several times bigger than a normal board book. The pages are also glossy and shiny so it's nice to hold and should also repel any liquids your kid spills on them. The illustrations are very cute and the colors are very vibrant, especially since the pages are so big.Bottom line -- it's a beautiful book that will last for years.
