What the Ladybird Heard

Celebrate 15 years of farmyard fun with this special anniversary edition of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ bestselling picture book What the Ladybird Heard.

And the ladybird said never a word.
But the ladybird saw,
And the ladybird heard . . .

When the ladybird overhears Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len planning to steal the farmer’s fine prize cow, it’s up to her – the smallest, quietest creature on the farm – to stop the thieves . . . This rhyming farmyard adventure features two bungling robbers, one clever little ladybird – and lots of animal noises!

Join in the fun with the What the Ladybird Heard 15th Anniversary Edition. With bright, distinctive artwork this special edition of the family-favourite story also features bonus material, including a letter from author Julia Donaldson and pictures from the illustrator Lydia Monks’ sketchbook.
