Book Reviews of The Grouchy Ladybug
Book Review: Good Kids Book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a great children's book, where the ladybug meets the other ladybug and the grouchy ladybug didn't want to share with the other ladybug. So the grouchy ladybug asked the ladybug if it wanted to fight so the ladybug just smiled and said ok but the grouch ladybug said he wasn't big enough for him. Then the lady bug went flying around for about an hour and asked lots and lots of animals if they wanted to fight of course they all said yes and just smiled but none of them where big enough for him.This book would teach a kid that people aren't going to be happy all the time. It also would teach a kid that sharing is good and you should do it as much as possible, because you and the person that you share it with will be both happy. I recommend this book because, what it would teach kids and its just a good book and I enjoyed it. I hope that everyone else that reads it enjoys it to. Its funny how the ladybug thinks nothing is big enough for him to fight when there hundreds of times bigger then he is. Every hour he asked a different animal if it wanted to fight each time it was bigger eventualy when he got to a whale he didn't know how big it was and asked for fight its tail and its fin and the whale.

Book Review: Not the best Carle book for toddlers
Summary: 3 Stars
Many of Carle's books are perfect for toddlers, even though they are recommended for the 4 and older crowd. I'm not sure this is one of them. My son (age 2) enjoyed the simple narrative and the repetition, but I was uncomfortable with the premise of a grouchy bug who keeps picking fights with larger and larger animals--and for no apparent reason either, other than the fact he's feeling grouchy. Also, the pictures of the clock and use of time progression (At six o'clock he did such and such...At seven o'clock he....)were totally lost on my son. This book is better suited for the early-reader crowd, although I think THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR, THE VERY BUSY SPIDER, and BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE? are far superior (although none of them have the gimmick for teaching time).Book Review: My daughter loves it, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter loves this book, and the one thing I like about it is that she knows all the animals. But this book is very tiring and annoying to read out loud, the same phrases repeated over and over. I also don't think the story is appropriate for toddlers, talking about aphids and fighting. We hide this book often but my daughter always seems to find it. I just can't emphasize how annoying it is, and I love books and love reading to my daughter. I would not recommend this book to anyone. There are other books out there that teach animals.Book Review: Very artistic but kind of a wierd message
Summary: 3 Stars
I was expecting this to be a book about a ladybug who resolved it's anger toward the end, but it wasn't what I thought it would be.
I loved the artwork, but for a toddler it's not really user friendly.
I recommend waiting till your child is about 6 before buying this book!
