stART: Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy
Book:Â Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy
Some heroes fly, others scale tall buildings and one very special one wears a red tutu, and ladybug wings. This heroine doesn’t battle crime or clean up the streets she handles the real life issues of young children on the playground. Who could it be but Ladybug Girl? The heroine of the New York Times bestseller Ladybug Girl is back for another adventure. This time around Ladybug Girl has a friend, Bumblebee boy.
The second book in the series, Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy is set on the playground where the main character, Lulu is meeting her friend Sam for a play date. Even with good friends, conflict can arise and that is exactly what happens with Lulu and Sam. But unlike other children, Lulu is up for the challenge. Under the guise of Ladybug Girl, Lulu deftly resolves the conflict with her friend and sidekick, the newly christened Bumblebee Boy.
An excellent book that provides the opportunity to discuss the issue of conflict in a gentle and relaxed manner. Ladybug Girl’s advice to other children on the playground is wise beyond her years and yet easy enough for preschool and early elementary children to understand. Her dialogue is clear and realistic for the age. She is a likeable and relatable character

Cut a piece of 8.5z11″ yellow and red cardstock into 6 rectangles. Use a bottle top and some black acryllic paint to create spots for the ladybug. For the bumblebee, lay strips of masking tape across the yellow in tegular intervals and then paint with black paint over the top. Remove tape to show the stripes. Reassemble into sheets and glue onto a backing page to secure before displaying.
