What the Ladybird Heard: Laugh out loud rhyming adventures on the farm!

Fantastic ladybird story

Lovely book.

Good quality book and good value. My granddaughter loved the story and the colourful pictures

A nice alternative to Old MacDonald, stretched out over a book

Be prepared to read this book again. again and again (and again) It is a huge hit with my Grandson. He is 3 years old and this story really appeals to him, the animal sounds, and the naughtiness of the two characters trying to steal the fine prize cow. It is a delightful story for little ones who are ready to move on to proper stories and easy plots. Also, a lesson that you don't have to be big in this world to make an effect. Where would they have been without that little ladybird?

We got a spin off board book as a gift which didn't make sense as a standalone story so we bought the paperback version and it was an instant hit. We now have four ladybird heard books and they are regularly chosen at bed time. Our son finishes the sentences and can recite parts of it so it's also really helped develop his speech. We've gifted this book at birthdays as well and know older siblings (4/5) have also enjoyed it.

The book was a gift.

I am a primary school teacher and the Julia Donaldson books are always a big hit with the children. This story was no different. The children were glued to it and enjoyed looking for the ladybird on every page. It was also very funny and the children loved listening to the different animal sounds. This is a book I will be reading to children for many years to come! :)

Mi hijo de 3 años ha empezado a mostrar un gran interés por leer cuentos antes de ir a la cama. En casa yo me ocupo de los cuentos en inglés y éste es un gran acierto. Independientemente del nivel de tu hijo y de su edad, leer un cuento cada noche les inicia en el hábito y, aunque no entiendan todo, algo se les va quedando. En particular este libro tiene unas bonitas ilustraciones y si tu hijo es muy pequeño puedes empezar insistiendo en los animales de granja, sus nombres y el sonido que cada uno hace. Incluso si es muy pequeño para eso, hay una mariquita en cada página, con lo que se puede jugar simplemente a encontrarla. En definitiva, un bonito cuento para iniciar a tu hijo a la lectura, conectar con él y relajarlo antes de ir a dormir.

The illustrations are so detailed and engaging.... The story is superb n well presented.the rhyming lines are very apt n funny... Very good book for 20 months n older kids.( N I laughed reading it myself n my son laughed seeing me laugh). But I guess 2.5,3 year olds will like it even more( mine is 2 wen I bought)

Amazing, rhyming story, that we all love to read. We give all the characters their own voices. We must have read it a hundred times already. A must read bedtime story.

One of her best. Buy all of her books. We keep coming back for more.

My son loves this. He was 19/20 months old when we first read it and he loved it. We borrowed it from the library and then ended up buying it here. If he doesn't feel like us reading the story he plays hunt the ladybird on each page. Room on the Broom is also awesome. She's a brilliant author. We have her 10 book collection ordered.
