A review for What the Ladybird Heard: Bestselling author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Lydia Monks have teamed up for another brilliant picture book. Right in the farmyard among all the noisy animals with their MOOs! and QUACKS! and BAAs! and OINKs! lives a tiny silent ladybird. This beautiful glittery creature (little fingers will love to feel her sparkly shape) is so quiet that she hears two crafty robbers plotting to raid the farmyard.
And she comes up with a very clever plan to stop them, helped by the very noisy animals all around her. A wonderful adventure with gorgeous stylised illustrations. ~ Julia Eccleshare
The other stories are:
The Princess and the Wizard
Make all the farmyard noises with the little ladybird and her friends, rhyme along with the Rhyming Rabbit, help Crab find a brand new shell and see if Princess Eliza can escape from the Wizard. These fun stories are brought to life on CD by Alexander Armstrong, Julian Clary, Imelda Staunton and David Tennant.
