The Bad-Tempered Ladybird

The Bad-Tempered Ladybird, by Eric Carle, picks a fight with every animal it meets – but each time the ladybird decided, “Oh, you’re not big enough!” and flies off. After a whole day of being bad-tempered, the ladybird realises that life is much better when you’re kind!

Eric Carle’s classic teaches children about telling time, size and the importance of sharing.

Justin says, “We should be kind to everyone and treat everyone equally. Sharing and being kind makes me happy.”

Raye asserts, “It’s important that we know how to calm down or be happy when we’re angry or upset. I liked speaking about things we like and what we can do to help us.”

Joe agrees, “I liked the book because in the end, the ladybird turn nice and happy.”
