Ladybug Girl and the Dress-up Dilemma
They’ve done it again! The husband and wife picture book team, David Soman and Jacky Davis, bring us another flipping BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful book to add to the Ladybug Girl series.
Lulu is sure of what she wants to be for Halloween… or is she? Time is running out and she is out with her family picking apples. Then something happens to remind Lulu of what she knew all along- who she is and what she wants to be for Halloween!
All the books in the Ladybug Girl series are on the longer side compared to most modern picture books, but I think it’s a good thing for kids’ attention spans to be challenged to stretch. It is written well, so you and your kiddo will barely even notice the longer format. My girl loves every second I read these books to her!
And here’s a little SILLY SKELETON you can make!
1. Download and print the sheet of bones (above) onto white card stock.
2. Have a parent help cut out all the bones.
3. Watch HJ’s demonstration here:
Kids can glue them together in a silly pose. (Use brads or string at the joints if you want the legs and arms to move.)
4. Hang it up for Halloween!
Happy Halloween from Shanda and HJ!
Laney and “Creepy” the dancing skeleton with a big heart! Great job!
