Reviews
The ladybird is my favourite character because it flies and it helps people. I think what the ladybird heard has cool characters. I like that the animals make different noises than they are supposed to, to trick the bad guys so they don’t steal the cow. It’s pretty clever! I think other people would like this book xx

If you are someone who doesn't talk enough and people talk to you or they ask you something or even question you and you don't even talk back like the lady bird you should read this book. It will be really quick and easy to read,so if you are young you can definitley and for sure nothing is wrong for you little kids and you big kids to read this book even if its embarrising to do it was your chose so it should'd be embarrasing for any body.
