This story is full of farmyard fun and antics. All around the edges of the cover, are all sorts of farmyard animals, including a duck, a goose, a donkey, a woolly sheep, and a very pretty looking cow.

Right at the centre of the page is a bright red ladybird. She is the star of the book. So we've created a raised feely picture for you. On this double page. All the animals are huddled around nose to nose, looking at the lady bird who was standing on the end of the cow’s nose. This time the ladybird is talking and all the animals are listening very intently to what she has to say. Below his right foot is a pile of poo that he has just stepped in and splattered all around. This last feely picture shows the farmer and some of the animals dancing in celebration at the end of the story. I hope you enjoyed this farmyard adventure. Did you remember to count how many times you found the ladybird? The animals certainly showed some grit, teamwork. Didn't they? And wasn't the ladybird clever to come up with such a cunning plan.
