Look insideWhat the Ladybird Heard
Spot a glittery ladybird and make your loudest animal noises in this gleeful farm rhyme. (You’ll love Lydia’s art.) Is it quiet? Something’s wrong! Julia Donaldson and quirky artist Lydia Monks have made BIG noises in the picture book world. No wonder – they’re great! But are they as loud as these farm animals? Moo! Hiss! Baa! Cluck! The barnyard is a very noisy place. So when two crooks decide to steal a prize cow, they don’t think anyone will hear them. But they’re wrong…
“Bursting with colour and verve.” Daily Telegraph
