What's the story?
This sequel to Ladybug Girl finds Lulu at the playground looking for something to do. Friend Sam is game for some playtime, but they have different ideas -- he doesn't want to play princess, and she doesn't feel like digging in the sand. Ladybug Girl has to come up with games that make them both happy; her imagination comes in handy once again as LADYBUG GIRL AND BUMBLEBEE BOY find plenty of fun adventures.
Is it any good?
The Ladybug Girl series is a great set of books for the preschooler or kindergartener learning about imaginative play. Kids sorting out the ups and downs of playground fun will relate as Lulu struggles to resolve conflicts between her own wishes and her friend's. Parents will find these tales helpful for addressing issues of sharing, cooperation, and considerate behavior at school and on the playground. The watercolor-and-ink drawings vividly convey the urgency of these very real childhood dramas.
Plus, it never hurts to teach children how to have fun with nothing but sticks and everyday objects.
