The Bad-tempered Ladybird

A very good book for helping with emotions.A great addition to our classroom.

A good classic buy

The bad tempered ladybird is a must have for every child!I love this book so much, I had a copy when I was small and would read it all the time.Now I have brought it for my son and read it to him very often because I simply love the story so much.The illustrations are perfect and the book is super easy to easy to read.I highly recommend this book.

I love this story. We can all learn something from it and it gets us thinking about time.

Another good book by Eric Carle helps with learning tines

I remember this book from my childhood, so had no hesitation in buying it to read to my daughter.I got a bit of a shock when it arrived - I didn't remember the ladybird being quite so aggressive!However, I changed the word "bad-tempered" to "grumpy" (a word my daughter is familiar with) and it works great. She loves "reading" along with me, and now we can even make comparisons with the book: if she doesn't got to sleep, she will be grumpy in the morning. And if she's grumpy, she will make me grumpy. Because that's how it works. Grumpiness spreads. All the other animals were quite happy doing whatever they were doing until the grumpy ladybird came along and made them grumpy too.

In the US version this is a story about a Grouchy Lady Bug , but the unique format and beautiful illustrations still deliver the same page turning interest and even a fun lesson about how a grouchy or bad-tempered day can be put into perspective and end with a smile.

what a great story!! About such small animal and the big impact and importance on our lives eating the aphids that damage trees. Also go through different stages and timing of the day, big and small; the moral of “always will be someone bigger or clever that you”.
