4.0 out of 5 stars Ladybug Girl Dresses Up Review March 17, 2010

By A. E. Terry

Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase

I just recently picked this up and having looked at some of the other reviews, I was a bit worried... but I still picked it up as I've got the other 2 books in the series.

This book is great for the 1-3 year old range of toddlers whom you're introducing to reading with a few pages to keep their interest, colorful pictures and it is simple.

I can see why though there's the critisms with this book. If you've read the first Ladybug Girl book and look inside the front cover, you have seen all of what this book has to offer. There's just not as many of the pictures put in Dresses Up. And for an older child, this book may not hold their interest and be a disappointment.

Perhaps if they had included more or all of the pictures from the inside cover or had new pictures not found there, it might have been more interesting for other reviewers.

Ultimately I am going by my 3 year old who's had me read the book multiple times now and who wanted to take it to her Daycare and show it to her friends there the new book she got.

She loves it.

1.0 out of 5 stars What happened to the story? February 24, 2010

By Jeff Diamond

Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am a *HUGE* fan of Ladybug girl and the sequel - they are perhaps in the top 5 list for my 4 year old daughter. They are in the category of books that are fun because they capture so much of the real detail of the everyday lives of young girls and parents. So when the third book was coming out, I preordered it, and my daughter was so excited!

In the first book, ladybug girl, the inside front and back covers show Lu Lu dressed in dozens of amazing costumes. Then, in the opening pages, you see all the costumes lying on the ground as Lu Lu decides Ladybug girl is her favorite. This is just an example of the incredible effort and detail in the original book. As a side activity, I would point to each costume and my daughter would happily yell out what she was dressed up as.

Well - guess what. This is ALL the third book is! Literally! There is no story, no plot. You just see her on each page dressed in one of those costumes. (There's not even as many as on the inside cover of the first book!) Literally, if you've seen the first 2 inner pages of Ladybug Girl, you've seen this entire book. My daughter never looked at it a second time.

I can't understand how the makers of these wonderful first two books could do something like this, but I certainly will NOT preorder the fourth book, and won't mention its existence to my daughter unless it turns out to at least have a basic story. Take a page from the earlier books. The scene in the playground in the sequel was absolutely awesome! Definitely a best in genre book. Unfortunately, I cannot even call the third book a "book" in the classic sense. More useful as a pull out poster for Ladybug Girl fans. Now, if she had actually DONE something in another costume, that might have been interesting...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Ladybug Girl March 10, 2010

By SFgirl85

Format:Board book

This board book is a wonderful way to introduce young readers to Ladybug Girl. My baby niece loves all of Lulu's costumes. Her favorite is the wild tiger. She enjoys roaring with Lulu. I look forward to showing her the original Ladybug Girl books when she is a bit older.
