Gift for a 1st birthday. Beautiful illustrations and lovely rhyme, really enjoyable poem to read. Perhaps our favourite Julia Donaldson

I like the way it captures children's interest whilst also conveying an important lesson of listening and observing - the quietest of all saves the day and you don't always have to be the loudest to be heard! Try to find where different farms are in your local area. What crops do they grow? What animals do they look after? A great story with some drama and adventure and lovely illustrations. My liittle girl is obsessed with ladybirds so this book keeps her well entertained.

I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs.Julia Donaldson is one of today's most popular writers. Her bestselling titles include The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child and Room on the Broom. Although she is best-known for her picture books, Julia also writes longer novels, plays and songs. She lives in Glasgow and spends a lot of time on stage performing her brilliant sell-out singalong shows! One of the first books i read with my little girl, we absolutely love it, so much that i used it as part of my work in college. She loves making all the funny noises with me.

What the Ladybird Heard Series by Julia Donaldson - Waterstones

Sharing rhymes with very young children helps them become familiar with the patterns of language and helps them develop their understanding of how language works. Look at the adjectives that are used to describe each animal. How many other adjectives can you think of to describe them? Use the animal posters (see Resources below) and write adjectives on them. The story is about a ladybird coming up with a plan to save the farm. The illustrations of the ladybird telling the animals plan is clever because the illustrator has lined up the animals and created a trail to each animal’s ear to show the reader that the ladybird is telling each animal the plan and their role in the plan. This was one of the first books I read to my son when only a few weeks old he loves all the rhymes and animal sounds now he's a bit older he loves the pictures too we now have a library of Julia Donaldson books!Look at the pictures of the farm at the start and end of the book. Can you describe how they are different? Funnily enough, I find it harder to write not in verse, though I feel I am now getting the hang of it! My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. It is also really great to introduce rhyme and patterns into a book, There is a nice repetitive structure to the book with a good natural flow, making it easy for children to follow and spot the patterns and rhymes. With a cast of everyone's favourite farm animals, What the Ladybird Heard is a brilliant rhyming adventure from the stellar picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks. What the Ladybird Heard is a repetitive story with rhyming words and alteration which encourage children to join in.
