Critics Review
A terrific and witty adventure * Guardian *Bursting with colour and verve * Daily Telegraph *What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson has all her characteristic sense of fun and performance … every picture book by her is a treat. * Times *Great ‘cops and robbers’ appeal … perfect for children motivated by the seemingly endless ways in which one might trap the ‘baddies’. * Teach Primary *
