This beloved Eric Carle classic returns once again in a colorful new board book format. 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. 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.
Children's Literature
In this new edition of the classic tale, a bad-tempered ladybug tries to pick a fight with increasingly bigger animals (starting with a ladybug and ending with a whale), until she has some sense knocked into her. This humbling experience transforms her into a happier bug with better manners and a kinder disposition. Other concepts introduced in this story include size, color, time, elements of the food cycle, and social behavior.
