The Very Lazy Ladybug
PreSchool-Grade 1-The ladybug of the title is so lethargic that she  doesn't even know how to fly. She decides to look for a new  sleeping spot, and, since her mobility is restricted, she  latches on to a number of passing animals. As she soon finds  out, a kangaroo is too bouncy, a monkey's incessant swinging  makes her dizzy, and a tiger's roaring makes it too noisy to  sleep. Finally, she thinks she's found the perfect spot-on the  trunk of an elephant. However, the elephant sneezes and the  ladybug is launched into the air and has to fly at last. The  illustrations are done in bold, eye-catching colors, and the  animals are very simply drawn and easily recognizable. The  variety in the type reflects the action and movement of the  animals. Children will enjoy acting out the tale as the ladybug  looks for a quiet place to sleep. A natural for  storytime.Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LACopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
