Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ladybug Girl Makes Friends
Jacky Davis · 2012
76/100
👍 Worth It
Ladybug Girl is a beloved series for a reason — David Soman's watercolors are genuinely beautiful, and Lulu's imaginative confidence is charming without being preachy. This entry delivers the series' signature warmth on a topic (making new friends) that is perennially relevant for the preschool set. It is an early reader, so narrative depth is modest by design, but within the format it does everything well.
