Ladybug Girl by Jacky Davis
1.0
I so badly wanted to love this book, because my daughter is going to dress up as a ladybug for Halloween. But it wasn't meant to be, apparently.
I absolutely love the illustrations, but the text didn't compare. It definitely had some endearing parts--like where she imagines a shark is in a deep puddle but she jumps in anyway. (Because she's Ladybug Girl!)
But overall, the text felt too long and meandering. I know it could have been edited down to the real meat of the story. Also, I'm not a huge fan of how Ladybug Girl copes with her brother telling her she's too little to play baseball. Rather, I'm not a fan of how she doesn't cope. She says what amounts to "No I'm not, you are." And that's the end.
