Description

The bad-tempered ladybird picks fights with every animal it meets, no matter how big or small. But after a whole day of being bad-tempered, the ladybird realizes that life is much better when you're in a good mood!
In this comical story, Eric Carle explores the concepts of size and time, using his trademark collage style with lots of bold colour and beautiful illustrations.
