Title Details

It’s shopping day. Mrs. Ladybird says goodbye to her five little ladybirds and rushes off—but, oh dear, she’s forgotten something important! "Wait!" calls a little ladybird as she chases after her. On each new page, another little ladybird joins the trail as they hurry after their mother—just in time to give her the forgotten purse at the checkout counter. The text is really only a few breathless words, but it hangs on a sequence of exquisitely rendered pictures of a tiny ladybird world of streets, shops, and houses. A captivating book that gives small children lots to look at and point to on every page.
