Ladybug Girl is at the farmer's market with her mom and
Bingo. She is surprised to find a big group of dogs under a banner inviting
people to adopt one of the animals. Though she cannot adopt a dog (Bingo is
enough!), Ladybug Girl and her Bug Squad find ways to help and even advertise
better so one of the dogs will be adopted into a new home.
This is a wonderful story showing kids taking initiative and
being involved. I like that the story didn't go the cliche route of having Lulu
adopt one of the dogs--rather it showed a more real story of letting the kids
find a way to help even if they can't adopt. The story is simple, easy to
relate to for kids, and the illustrations are (as usual) right on point. You
cannot go wrong with a Ladybug Girl book when you want a strong female lead and
an overall great story.
