Wanna play with me? Mom and Dad are too busy. Her brother says she's too small. So Lulu and Bingo (her dog) need to find something to do. When she finds some ants being blocked by a rock, Ladybug Girl springs into action. Ladybug Girl realizes that the world needs her, and she is off to do some exploring. This is a classic glass-half-empty/glass-half-full story written for young readers to understand.

First, let me just applaud this book for not being PINK and SPARKLY. Instead it is red and sparkly and has a girl who is a spunky individual. Lulu's parents are busy and her big brother is playing baseball with his friends, so that leaves her to find her own fun along with her dog Bingo. Lulu spends the day outside in the backyard, running, saving ants from boulders, crossing puddles that could contain sharks, and building a fort of her own.

Lulu's big brother tells her she's too little to play with him, so she and her dog, Bingo, make their own fun right in the backyard. After a full morning of advnetures--saving ants, leaping through shar-infested puddles, skipping over a huge and twisty tree trunk--whe knows that she is definitely not too little.

I really like this imaginative little girl. Having been "too small" to play with my big brother and his friends--as so many younger siblings are--I sympathize with her wanting to play with them. Instead, she makes her own fun as Ladybug Girl with her dog, Bingo. She uses her imagination to great adventure and fully enjoys the natural world. She's a good example for children who don't know how to just play outside!

So cute! A great story about how to be creative and entertain yourself when the adults around you are busy. Good for preschoolers. My favorite part, by far, is the illustrations-- the expressions on the basset hound's face are VERY houndlike, but still mirror how Ladybug girl is feeling.

Lulu's day starts off on a sad note as she's expected to play alone...but in a short while Lulu the Ladybug Girl finds all sorts of adventures. A great read for self-esteem, self-confidence for preschoolers and early elementary grades, especially girls.

*Update* - My Uncle Pants read this book to me at Borders in Boston this past weekend! I loved it!
My uncle recommended this book to me - I looked for it at the library last night, but I could not find it. Hopefully we can find it at Borders!!!

I really thought I would love this one, but it was ho-hum. My daughter was really excited by the cover, the story didn't really hold her attention.

A perfect picture book. Just enough story. Great perspective in the illustrations. And an authentic day in the life of a little kid. And no lessons to be learned. Hurrah!

Very very cute book about a fiesty little girl making her own day happy and fun when everyone else is busy. Because she is Ladybug girl, she can do anything.

I love the illustrations for this book. Ladybug's brother doesn't want to play with her so she has to come up with her own fun.
