Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs Awareness Tour presented in partnership* with P.E. Shadrick and The Children’s Book Review.
Step into a whimsical world with Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs as our virtual book tour takes flight!
In this charming story, six-year-old Lisbeth wakes up to find her hair tangled. Her grandmother explains that playful ladybugs are responsible for the knots. Through a playful tale of the ladybugs’ grand gala, Lisbeth learns about the importance of shared responsibility in a fun and engaging way. Vibrant watercolor illustrations by Maya Penzlik are sure to enchant readers.
Buoyant detail and a sense of warmth distinguish both of the book’s realities: the everyday family relationship with its PJs and smiles, and the gorgeous imaginative world of the ladybugs, who dance, sew, and show off fancy-funny costumes against a backdrop of sun-kissed flowers. These are pages to soak up and get lost in.

A cool concept for a book.

Such a sweet little book
Always loved 🐞 ladybugs as a child. Adore the bracelets which would enlighten my days!
Morning shenanigans, with “winter” dew drops (the preferred version of a “snowball” for a ladybug), which consists of launching them at unsuspecting humans or aphids.
We like books that teach a lesson and this one does.
Lovely children’s book.
Ladybugs are so charming!
Good life lesson
Hide-and-seek, is a favorite antic for Ladybugs. They hide under leaves, or petals, then gently tag the unsuspecting insect as they pass by, and watch them scurry off in surprise.
Lovely looking book
We would enjoy reading this book.
We have ladybugs in the bathroom.
Sounds fabulous.
I don’t like most insects but I do like ladybugs
Leave cookie crumbs!
Looks like there’ll be grooming lessons too!
Acrobatics on spider webs – Ladybugs love showing off their acrobatic skills, like somersaults and flips, darting in and out of spider webs. They never get caught and leave the spiders frustrated with rearranged spider webs.
This book is a good read.
I can imagine ladybugs decorating their dots!
A very entertaining story.
Fun for the whole family!
This looks like a wonderful book- I would love to read through it with my little nephew! Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!

Thank you for the opportunity to win this prize for my grandson.
The girls and I think the lady bugs would have a fun time at a water park with all of their friends and family! A little water park made just for them. <3
