About this book
The animals on the farm are always noisy, all except for the ladybird who never says a word. But when burglars plot to steal the farmer's fine prize cow, it's the quiet ladybird who comes up with the perfect way to stop their dastardly plan!
This lively rhyming story is perfectly paired with stylish, vibrant farmyard illustrations by Lydia Monks. Children will love joining in with all the familiar animal sounds, as well as spotting the tiny glittery ladybird on each page.
