"The Grouchy Ladybug" is bigger and brighter, as irascible but irresistible as ever, and will surely delight new generations of readers, as well as her devoted fans of all ages.
From Eric Carle, New York Times bestselling author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and From Head to Toe, comes the classic story of one very grouchy ladybug. Eric Carle's bright artwork and signature style will charm both ardent fans and new readers alike.
As children follow the Grouchy Ladybug on her journey, they will learn the important concepts of time, size, and shape, as well as the benefits of friendship and good manners.
For generations, The Grouchy Ladybug has delighted readers of all ages with the story of a bad-tempered bug who won't say "please" or "thank you," won't share, and thinks she is bigger and better than anyone else.
Readers will love how this testy ladybug introduces them to many new animals and learns that maybe being grouchy isn't always the best option.
