A fun narrative, presenting what is certainly not the typical Christmas story。 A ladybird goes calling on its spider friend (??!!) for Christmas, but overhears two robbers talking of how they’ll clear up the presents once Santa has delivered them。 Luckily the house is full of noisy creatures and pets, and they can defend their territory – but the ladybird is someone we never get to hear。 In a way it’s only the fact the gifts are to be stolen that makes this festive – the plot could work if moved A fun narrative, presenting what is certainly not the typical Christmas story。 A ladybird goes calling on its spider friend (??!!) for Christmas, but overhears two robbers talking of how they’ll clear up the presents once Santa has delivered them。 Luckily the house is full of noisy creatures and pets, and they can defend their territory – but the ladybird is someone we never get to hear。 In a way it’s only the fact the gifts are to be stolen that makes this festive – the plot could work if moved to almost any time of year, based as it is on the clever and cooperative animals, and not even the colours in the artwork really sell the fact this a seasonal piece。 I think it valid if some people think this not festive enough as a result – even if it remains perfectly pleasant and interesting enough for the very young。 Three and a half stars。 。。。more

What the Ladybird Heard at Christmas is a perfect festive version of What the Ladybird Heard which will be enjoyed equally by fans of the series and brand new readers。 The rhyming story with a festive twist will delight readers - as will the vibrant, detailed illustrations that we have come to expect from the series。 My daughter loved it!
