The Ladybird

Bernadette Gervais, Laurence King, £8.99

This beautifully-crafted, yet simple picture book teaches children (and grown-ups) a surprising amount about one of our most iconic insects.

It opens with a lift-up flap which shows the ladybird’s actual size against a coffee bean and is packed with fascinating factoids and colourful illustrations.

It’s topped off with a brilliant “spot” the difference.

OUR VERDICT 8/10
