What the Ladybird Heard Review
This is a very short and cute story you would love to read it with your kids. This is one of my kid’s favorite story books, he himself bought this from a book stall. I read it almost twice in a day for him and even now he keeps singing the story on his own.
This is the best part of Julia Donaldson’s books, the rhythmic sentences and beautiful illustrations hold the interest of small kids and parents and if you keep reading the book with your kids, no wonder after some days you will find them singing the story on their own. I just love the moment when I listen my kid singing the story in a lovely voice.

This book is about some farm animals and a ladybird who stay in a farm. One day, ladybird (who never said a word) came to know about a cunning plan of two men who want to steal the fine prize cow from the farm. That moment that ladybird saw and heard everything about the plan and decided to tell each detail to all the other animals. Finally she speaks and makes a plan to stop those two men from stealing the fine prize cow.
What does the book teach?
As the story moves around the farm and its animals, who join their hands and act smartly in the hour of need. The book conveys the message, we can’t alone handle each and every situation comes in our life. Sometimes we need our friends or relatives to fight back the bad situation.
Thus in hour of need, we should join hands with our friends and relatives and then act smartly to come out the difficult situations.

The story moves in a fast pace. At any point of time it doesn’t loose the interest of readers and listeners.
