Practice Makes Perfect (Lass Ladybug's School Days #4) (Bugville Critters)

Description

Stanek, acclaimed author of the popular children's books "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches" and "Journey Beyond the Beyond," has selected an irresistible combination for this age group--lovable critters and heart-warming stories. In this book, he collects two favorite Bugville Critters stories -- Have a Backyard Picnic and Compete in the Big Spelling Bee -- to create a unique reading experience. The witty narrative, with bountiful critter jargon, boisterous interjections, and plenty of humor, makes for a fun read-aloud, and colorful artwork captures the antics of the critters with playful perspectives and hilarious details. Nonstop action, good-natured critters, and a comical view of going to school and making friends will attract critter aficionados, older siblings, moms, and dads alike.

Lass doesn't let Cat come over to play because she and her other friends are practicing for the B. Havior School Annual Spelling Bee. Mom Ladybug comes up with a plan to correct Lass's rude behavior and that plan includes a fantastic picnic lunch in the backyard for Lass and her friends. Later, Lass and her friends Sarah, Buster, and Barry compete in the B. Havior School Annual Spelling Bee. When Lass gets a big case of stage fright, her family and friends work together to help her through it.
