The Grouchy Ladybug

The grouchy ladybug won’t share his aphids, and he’ll pick a fight with anyone – no matter how big! How will he learn that it’s much bigger to be kind and nice and cheerful for a change? This delightful picture book from Eric Carle uses his unmistakable collage illustrations and cutouts to tell an instructive story with a strong storyline. Luckily, everything ends happily when the ladybug finally learns to share, as the fireflies come out and dance around the moon!
