One fine day, in the middle of May, The ladybird went on holiday. Those two bad men, Lanky Len & Hefty Hugh, are back They may be in the city instead of the farm, but they havent changed their thieving ways. In fact, theyve got even more ambitious. Theyre planning to steal a monkey from the zoo & use it to pinch the Queens crown. Its a pity for them that a certain crime-busting ladybird is holidaying in the very same city... & shes got a good idea that will ensure the dastardly pair wont get away with it With a whole host of noisy new zoo-animal characters to meet & even a cameo from the Queen, What the Ladybird Heard on Holiday, from stellar picture book partnership Julia Donaldson & Lydia Monks, is a sure-fire hit. Featuring glitter on every page & a gorgeously glittery cover.
