Sorry this post is a bit late. It was the first day of school here, and I am trying to get back into a routine. Today I also had quite a few errands to run which included the dreaded shoe shopping for my fashionista five year old. It didn't help that at the first two stores we went to they had hardly any selection and the shoes they did have were not her size. Like seriously, are all little girls feet now the same size as my daughter's???
Oh well, we got there eventually. We found a pair that she liked, and I liked the price of. There are glittery hearts on the toes and she is happy that they have green sparkles because green is now her favourite colour. So step aside pink, there is a new colour in town.
Synopsis
When Ladybug Girl is not allowed to play with her brother and his friends she finds fun and adventure all on her own.
My Thoughts
Well, we finally got the first Ladybug Girl book of the series. I am still not sure how they got a series deal out of these books. Perhaps others in the series are better. When I read this, as well as the other one I kept wondering what the point was? Are they trying to show off the awesomely huge backyard Ladybug Girl has? Maybe they are trying to show that it is important to be a friend with yourself?
There really wasn't much of a plot, rising action, climax, resolution or anything. Her brother didn't turn nice and invite her to play. She was not overcome with the joy of being her own friend, though she did appreciate not playing with her brother as he and his friends started arguing about baseball. It was just her going from one part of her backyard to another.
I will admit. I did like the illustrations, but it wasn't enough for me to give this book a winning endorsement.
Perhaps I am missing something about these books. If you have read them and you liked them, please explain it to me so I know what I am missing, because for me... I just don't get it.
