Description from Goodreads:
Lulu is excited about her playdate with Finny—and especially excited about Finny’s Rolly-Roo. In fact, Lulu loves the toy so much that she . . . kind of forgets to play with Finny. So when the girls accidentally break the Rolly-Roo, will Lulu realize her mistake? In this compassionate and charming story about the value of a great friend, Lulu and Finny repair the broken toy, and soon forget all about it, blasting off on new imaginative adventures together as Ladybug Girl and Grasshopper Girl.
Thoughts about this book:
Ladybug Girl is an ongoing popular picture book series featuring a young girl who dresses up as Ladybug Girl. Each book can be read individually and often books focus on issues and lessons that are important to young children. In the latest book, Ladybug Girl is excited about a playdate with Finny/Grasshopper Girl and her special toy Rolly-Roo.
Young children can relate to playdates and struggles with sharing toys and Ladybug Girl is no different.
