Critics Review

A terrific and witty adventure
Guardian
Bursting with colour and verve
Daily Telegraph
What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson has all her characteristic sense of fun and performance . . . every picture book by her is a treat.
Times
Great ‘cops and robbers’ appeal . . . perfect for children motivated by the seemingly endless ways in which one might trap the ‘baddies’.
