Publisher Description
Ladybug Girl and her friends help at a dog-adoption fair and discover that even the littlest things can make a big difference in this tenth hardcover in the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl series.
Lulu is excited to meet all the rescue dogs when the pet-adoption fair comes to her local farmers' market. She wants to take all of them home--but she already has Bingo, and Mama says one dog is enough for their family. That doesn't mean Lulu can't help, though. It's time for Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad--her friends Grasshopper Girl and Bumblebee Boy--to step in! The Bug Squad can do all kinds of little but important things, like brush the dogs, play with them, and bring them water and food. And then Lulu comes up with the perfect plan to help the dogs find their forever homes. Her idea is such a success that the Bug Squad knows they'll be back again next week. Together, they can help every dog get adopted.
This beloved series is celebrated for its gentle, authentic, and imaginative exploration of kid-emotions and -truths.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her latest outing, Lulu, clothed as always in her Ladybug Girl attire, "flies around the farmer's market, pointing to the colorful fruits and vegetables. "All the colors make a rainbow!" she says. Another sight at the market that interests Lulu and Bingo, her steadfast basset hound is that of dogs waiting under a sign that says "Adopt a Dog." Lulu wants to adopt all of the dogs, which range from a small dachshund to a big, shaggy sheepdog, and in an especially gleeful scene, Soman shows what it might look like if eight additional dogs lived in her house. Lulu decides it is a bit much, and her mother tells her that "one dog is the right amount for our family." When the rest of the "Bug Squad" (Grasshopper Girl and Bumblebee Boy) shows up, the three are determined to help in other ways: they play with the dogs, fill their bowls, and introduce them to prospective adopters. Soman and Davis deliver another Ladybug Girl adventure with heartwarming authenticity. Ages 3 5.
