Shrink to the size of a garden bug and enter the world of ladybirds in this first graphic novel for children.

This graphic novel of garden life, made in collaboration with the Royal Entomological Society, is a perfect introduction to ladybirds for bug-obsessed little ones aged 5-7.

Follow a newly hatched ladybird as she learns the ins and outs of ladybirdhood, and meet plenty of fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel. Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips and tricks on how to be a ladybird, children will love to follow the story of Dotty the larva.

This bug book for children offers:

  • A graphic novel format to engage children in non-fiction topics.
  • Content made in partnership with the Royal Entomological Society providing scientific information about insects.
  • An engaging story about a newly hatched larva, Dotty, as she learns how to navigate life as a ladybird.

Our tale begins with a cluster of tiny eggs resting peacefully on a leaf - but life for a ladybird larva is far from peaceful. There are dastardly harlequins to contend with and giant predators in the form of birds. Not to mention the confusing fact that our leading larva doesn’t look anything like a ladybird at all! With transformations to look forward to - including gaining a pair of wings - and plenty of friendly bugs to meet, our heroine will soon learn that life in the garden isn’t all bad.
