In this hardcover picture book from the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl  series, Ladybug Girl and Bingo need to look on the bright side of things to make their snow day adventure as much fun as it should be.
 
Lulu and her dog Bingo wake up to a snow-covered yard and decide to have the best snow day ever. They make penguin tracks and taste the frosting-like snow. But the snow is deep and cold, and when Lulu tries to build a fort or make a snowball, her mittens are too wet and snow falls down the back of her neck. This is not the day she planned. And then Lulu remembers that she is Ladybug Girl and Ladybug Girl can do anything! With another determined look at the snow, Ladybug Girl overcomes her frustration and sees the yard in a whole new light. She and Bingo are now ready to use their imaginations to create their own snow games, snow animals, and snow adventures!

Reviews

PreS-Gr 1–Ladybug Girl and her trustworthy canine companion are back in this story about the joys of winter. Lulu wakes up to a magical morning outside her window: an unexpected blanket of snow. Dressing in her snow gear, she rushes outdoors with Bingo to find that all the trees, bushes, and grass look like giant frosted cakes. Lulu and Bingo play in the white wonderland, sculpting snow into various whimsical objects and imagining such things as a giant penguin, a snow castle, and a dragon soaring high above the glittery frozen land. The characters leap from spread to spread, and the text has amazing exuberance. Crisp and clean watercolor and line illustrations feature numerous chucklesome aspects, such as Lulu's varied facial expressions–from frustration to contentment. The images exemplify what the words need not explain–with just a little imagination the average snowflake can transform the familiar into a world full of wonder. Pair this with Leonid Gore's Danny's First Snow (S & S, 2007) for a wintry storytime treat.–Krista Welz, The North Bergen Public Library, NJα(c) Copyright 2013.
