LADYBUG GIRL READY FOR SNOW
From the Ladybug Girl series
by David Soman ; illustrated by Jacky Davis
A Ladybug Girl adventure for her littlest fans, this one features a romp in the snow.
The flakes have started to fall, so Ladybug Girl has to bundle up before heading out to play. Her trusty basset hound brings over her boots, and she pulls on a big red coat before donning tutu, wings, antennae and ear muffs. In full Ladybug Girl gear, she ventures into the snowy world with Bingo, tasting the fluffy stuff, building it into a mound and, finally, making a snow animal. What animal, you ask? “A snow Bingo!” of course! Both text and illustrations are appropriately spare. Simple backgrounds place the emphasis on the antics and emotions of Ladybug Girl and her devoted companion. For example, as she works with Bingo to pile the snow into a mound, Ladybug Girl looks nothing if not determined, with her tongue poking out of her mouth in an expression of concentration and effort, and once the snow Bingo is built, she looks like the picture of victory with her arms way up over her head as Bingo celebrates beside her.
A short, sweet tale introducing the concept of snow while celebrating the small joys of life in imaginative and joyful Ladybug Girl style.
