What the Ladybird Heard

by Julia Donaldson

Ages 3–6 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in outdoors and wild places funnyrhyming

Two crooks plan to steal the prize cow. The quietest animal on the farm hears every word and organises the entire yard against them.

A story about animals and a grown-up villain, funny and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
