Reviews

[Macy Williams]

This is a review for The Grouchy Ladybug.

This book features a plethora of animals, including a very grouchy lady. With each animal he says, "Hey you, wanna fight?", then he decides he wants to fight an even bigger animal. His journey began when he decided he didn`t want to share his aphids with another ladybug. He goes through a praying mantis, a hyena, and even a whale before he makes his way home. At the end he gets something to eat and becomes the very tired ladybug.
