Book Reviews of The Grouchy Ladybug
Book Review: Grouchy Ladybug makes a grouchy father!
Summary: 2 Stars
My father purchased this book for my two-year-old daughter. She absolutely adores the book---to my wife's and my dismay. She requests to have this book read over and over to her. As one previous reviewer noted, "Repetition is the best tool in teaching." Yes, I agree, but what do you want your child to learn? I really do not want my daughter to approach people saying "You wanna fight?" when she feels grouchy. I realize that there is a nice ending and the ladybug learns it lesson. The moral is not repeated and emphasized, though. If children learn through repetition, "You wanna fight?" is what is going to stay in their head. The concept of a grouchy ladybug is wonderful, and the correlation with teaching time is nice, too. With a different story, this book could be great. I am not sure how this book has remained popular for the last twenty-five years. It lost its popularity in our house after the first reading.Book Review: The Grouchy Ladybug
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is about a grouchy ladybug that doesn't want to share a leaf with another friendly ladybug, so he flies off trying to find some other animal to fight with for no reason. I picked two stars because I think this book teaches kids how to fight when they don't get something all to themselves with out sharing. I think that children's books should teach about sharing your things with others even if they like it a lot. I think that this book shouldn't be for younger children under age five. So six years old and up should read this because they will understand that you shouldn't fight and they should realize that this is just a story and that they shouldn't start fights.This book seems like boys would enjoy it more because they are more interested in fighting and the grouchy ladybug tries to be big and bad by fighting. I don't think girls would like it as much because they are more into sharing and being nice.
Book Review: A Grouchy Lady Bug
Summary: 2 Stars
I picked two stars for many reasons. This book is not good for little children, because in the story the character is, a fighter, and does not share. Children's book should be opposite of that, they should be teaching children to share and to respect and not to fight with others. I think that this book is for children 5 or 6 and up because they should know that they should not be fighters, mean, and to share.This book is mostly for boys, because boys are more interested in fighting and not being nice and not sharing. And this story is I like to say aggressive. It's not really for girls. Girls are more in to like nice sharing and not fighting stories.
That is what I have to say about The Grouchy Lady Bug.
Book Review: I can relate to the ladybug.
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed reading the Hungary Catapiller to my nephews and niece, so I was excited when I saw the Grouchy Ladybug. I think it's a great book for older children, b/c it shows children how if you're mean and start fights, no one will want to play with you. The other reason I really enjoyed this book is because it helps to teach kids about telling time. The whole book is cute. The art work is amazing and the kids like the bright colors. All in all, I think it's a great book for kids and parents to either read aloud or just look at the pictures.Book Review: Don't like
Summary: 2 Stars
My two year old really doesn't like this book. I got it since all the other books we have by the same author are really cute. This one is just a grumpy book. I'm sure there is a lesson, yes, but I will find another way to teach my son that bullying isn't right.
