A Ladybug Lands

A tiny red beetle with seven black dots crawls onto your finger, tickles your knuckle, then spreads its shell like doors and zooms toward the window box where basil leaves shiver in the rain. Bryony Fallowfield's gentle nature story follows one ladybug through a single day of small adventures, perfect for two to five year olds settling down or peering out at real gardens. Nell Pockett reads with the hushed patience of a grandparent on a porch, letting each pause breathe so listeners can spot their own ladybugs between words.
