A grouchy ladybug, looking for a fight, challenges everyone she meets regardless of their size or strength. Eric Carle is a virtuoso at creating children's picture books and is known especially for his enormously popular stories The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Do You Want to Be My Friend?, The Secret Birthday Message, The Mixed-Up Chameleon, and many others. His collage illustrations are characterized by a masterful simplicity that reflects a deep understanding of young children. For twenty years The Grouchy Ladybug has delighted very young readers and listeners. Boldly designed pictures and a humorous text tell the story of a tiny anti-hero like no other. The Grouchy Ladybug didn't say 'please' or 'thank you'; it wouldn't share; it thought it was bigger and more important than anyone else; and it was always ready to pick a fight. This fast-moving story with clever die-cut pages invites children to explore the concepts of time, size, shape, and manners. They will laugh and learn from this bad-tempered braggart who met its match and became a nicer and better behaved bug. Newly reprinted from the original artwork, The Grouchy Ladybug is now more appealing than ever, and it continues to be a favorite among the young for its originality and beauty. It's the Grouchy Ladybug's 20th birthday. To celebrate, we are introducing a new, larger format edition with brighter, more colorful pages created from Eric Carle's original artwork using the latest reproduction technology. The Grouchy Ladybug is bigger and brigher, as irascible but irresistable as ever and will surely delight new generations of readers, as well as her devoted fans of all ages. Happy Birthday, Grouchy Ladybug! |
