I know that this is “Collin’s Corner” but today I am going to talk about one of my daughter’s favorite books, Ladybug Girl by David Soman and Jacky Davis. My daughter is four years old and we often call her Ronni. It’s not short for anything, just a name she was stuck with as a child when Collin couldn’t pronounce her name. Ronni is obsessed with two things – her father (total Daddy’s girl) and ladybugs. In fact, her request is that everyone calls her “Lady Ronni-bug”. Yes, she came up with that all by herself.
When we found these Ladybug Girl books we were so excited. There are actually several of them and they are picture books, so absolutely perfect for her. In this particular story of Ladybug Girl she finds herself alone with her dog, Bingo. Her mom and brother are both busy so she has to entertain herself. Of course, she’s Ladybug Girl so she can do anything! She saves some ants, braves a [possibly shark infested] pond, helps to build a stone wall and accomplishes several other feats as she deals with being on her own and having to entertain herself.
I love this story for my daughter. Ladybug Girl, also known as Lulu, is just a normal little girl who can get dirty, have fun and uses her imagination. I feel like imagination is such a huge thing and it needs to be nourished and developed, especially for little girls who seem to be growing up too fast. So, the fact that I found a book that does that while entertaining my daughter is absolutely awesome! So, as a family, we give these books five stars. Yeap, they’re that awesome.
She gives it FIVE stars. :)
