Very little children will have lots of fun with this bright die cut board book. Each page features an animal, die cuts revealing a bright red ladybird in the centre of its tummy.
To answer the question posed in the title, we turn the pages, each turn bringing us nearer to the ladybird, each bright, bold spread explaining that it wasn’t this animal. The range of animals included is very broad and the illustrations very appealing. Look out for the white pelican, the blue fish and the cheeky spider on her web.
Eventually, we find out the truth and there’s a satisfying twist to conclude the story. This will develop colour recognition, build vocabulary and introduce little ones to the sheer fun of books.
Who has eaten the little bug? A gallery of animals all deny their involvement. Was it the polar bear? The pelican? The lion? The snail?
