Product Description:
Lulu’s older brother says she is too little to play with him. Her mama and papa are busy too, so Lulu has to make her own fun. This is a situation for Ladybug Girl!
Ladybug Girl saves ants in distress, jumps through shark-infested puddles, and even skips along the great dark twisty tree trunk—all by herself. It doesn’t matter what her brother says, Ladybug Girl is definitely not too little!
In this sweet and cheerful story by husband and wife team Jacky Davis and David Soman, one not-so-little girl discovers how to make some fun that is just her size, right in her own backyard.

It's a shame that this book didn't inspire more children, as descibed in other reviews. It did indeed inspire my 2 year old more than I even knew. My daughter is Luci (lulu too!) and because she shares not only her name but her fashion sense (her wings are pink though!)with Lulu-I think she could easily relate to her adventures too. She didn't like the book the very first few times around but when left for a few months and then returned to it...it's now read at least 3 times a day! The inspiration has led her to do so much more completely on her own. She took the pit from some acocados I used in salad one night and went outside, put dirt in one of my old clay pots and planted her seed. She watered it and tended to it. I have yet to see a shoot, but it's only been 3 weeks! The point, this is such a cute book to read and enjoy visually, but sometimes you don't realize how much a book can spark a little mind! I want more books with Lulu!!

this is a story about a girl in a ladybug- looking dress that goes about her day as ladybug girl. she tries to play baseball with her brother and his friends but he says she's too small, which kind of makes her a bit mad, so she goes about whimsical little adventures of her own because she is ladybug girl! and is not small at all. the girl is kind of free spirited and imaginative so it's fun reading about her. it isn't the best 'free spirited' children's book i've read, but it's decently done and worth the time put in.

When I am deciding on which books to buy for our children's ever expanding bookshelf, I try to read all the reviews. Ladybug Girl was given glowing reviews in magazines and online. I don't wish to be negative -- just to add a bit of balance.
The pictures are whimsical and fun, showing a child brimming with imgaination however the storyline fails to bring this to light. It falls short. It is shallow. After my husband read it to the children his very first remark was, "Not much to it." Exactly.
The children didn't ask any questions. Even though the story was supposed to be about imagination it didn't spark any in them. There wasn't a depth to the story to linger on in their minds -- or grab their hearts.
On the plus side is the choice of font style, size, boldness, and colour for the text. It adds interest for the reader without making it difficult to read.

I bought this book for my cousin's daughter and she loved it. Lots of whimsical illustrations and a charming story.

I bought this book to read to a class of second graders. The girls in the class particularly liked Ladybug Girl's adventures. They thought she was very cute in her little blue outfit. So while the story should appeal to young readers or soon-to-be readers I think that the charming artwork will be appreciated by all ages. The ink lines and painting on the little girl and her faithful dog companion are superb! I hope that the artist, David Soman, illustrates more books in this manner. Go Ladybug Girl go! :-)
