Kids Books Review - The bad tempered ladybird by Eric Carle

Recommended Age group for readers : 3 to 7  years.

This is another wonderful book from Eric Carle. 

This is a story about a grouchy ladybug. It tells about, how she pick a fight with other animals no matter how large they are. Even little kids now how bullying happens. So they will enjoy when they find out consequences of bullying.

You’ll also know about what aphids are and why they like tree’s leaves. BTW, after reading this book I came to know what aphids are and that ladybug likes to eat aphids.

In the story, the grouchy ladybug refuses to share aphids with other friendly ladybug and keep on challenging the friendly ladybug. Every time she bully other animal, she surprisingly backs down saying “oh! You are not big enough” and picks up somebody else to put unnecessary fight with. She then meet up with a wasp, praying mantis, sparrow, lobster, skunk  and lot many other animals.

Another thing is this book has a mini-clock in the corner of each page and talks about what the lady bug did at that time.


You can tell this story in hilarious manner to your kids too. Illustrations are beautiful.
