The Grouchy Ladybug


Speaking of telling time, Eric Carle thoroughly won me over with this sweet, colorful tale! I've always been a fan of ladybugs, and now I know why : ) Eric Carle does a marvelous job of weaving colors, numbers, clock-reading, animals, phonemic awareness, opposites, and character formation into a cohesive fable. I love it! My four year old reading pal did too. So we decided to make our own ladybug mosaic from old magazines. Of course, we discussed the story in between pieces of print, drops of glue, and declarations from the little one: "This is fun. I like this!" When you find a good story, the possibilities are endless.
