A grouchy ladybug spends the whole book picking fights against increasingly larger animals, running away after throwing down the gauntlet with a facetious, "You're not big enough anyway." I tired of the repetition long before the cowardly bully got her comeuppance. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
Aphids are very small insects. They suck the juice from leaves, and then the leaves die. Ladybugs eat aphids. That's good for trees, shrubs, and other plants that have leaves. To the ladybugs I have dedicated this book. Three cheers for them!
First words
It was night and some fireflies danced around the moon.
