Tale of Mrs. LadyBug, The by BAILEY, Arthur Scott

Have you ever seen a LadyBug and wondered what the cute little bug with the dots on her back was thinking? And why she seemed in such a rush? Well here is your chance to peek into her thoughts and enjoy some of her daily triumphs and disasters. Little Mrs. Ladybug was a worker. Nobody could deny that. To be sure, she had to stop now and then to talk to her neighbors, because Mrs. Ladybug dearly loved a bit of gossip. At the same time there wasnt anyone in Pleasant Valley that helped Farmer Green more than she did. She tried her hardest to keep the trees in the orchard free from insects. Some of her less worthy neighbors were known sometimes to say with a sniff, If Mrs. Ladybug didnt enjoy her work she wouldnt care about helping Farmer Green. If she hadnt such a big appetite shed stop to chat even more than she does now. (Summary by the book and phil chenevert)
