Soman, David and Jacky Davis Ladybug Girl's Day Out with
Grandpa. PICTURE BOOK. Dial Books for Young Readers, 2017. $17.99.
Lulu (aka
Ladybug Girl) is spending the day out with her Grandpa. They visit the Natural
History Museum in New York City, and Lulu is excited! She wants to learn
"everything about everything" but quickly becomes overwhelmed with
how much there is to see and learn. Grandpa takes the opportunity to teach her
that learning takes time and the key is focusing on one thing at a time. They
agree they will have to visit the museum again (together!) because there is
still so much to learn.
This is another adventure in the popular Ladybug Girl
series, though this one comes in hardback rather than the usual board book
style. I absolutely love spunky Lulu and her classic childlike enthusiasm and
interest in everything. The illustrations are fun--especially how they have
incorporated real exhibits from NYC's Museum of Natural History--and the story
is classic Ladybug Girl, focusing on "the thrill of discovery" as the
cover declares. This will be a great pick for grandfathers of little girls this
Father's Day, and a real winner with young female readers who connect with
Lulu.
