The Grouchy Ladybug
A grouchy ladybug and a polite ladybug both fly in to eat some aphids. The polite one wants to share, but the grouchy one plans on fighting for them. He’s also a coward, though, and so the grouchy ladybug goes off to find something that’s “big enough” for him to fight.
Eric Carle’s books are always fun and interesting. As the grouchy ladybug tries to find something to fight, the pages start out small, and then get larger as the animals he wants to fight get outrageously larger. At the end, there’s a great lesson about sharing and not being grouchy.
