Synopsis

Join everyone's favourite crime-busting ladybird this summer on a trip to the seaside! This brilliant rhyming adventure from the bestselling picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks features a cast of wonderful sea creatures – including a magical mermaid – and plenty of beach fun!

Ideal for keeping kids busy during the summer, it’s the ultimate boredom-busting companion for quiet time at home or on the go.

The clever little ladybird is off on a trip to the seaside, but those two bad men, Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len, are up to their wicked ways again. This time they're planning to steal the mermaid's hair and sell it to a famous star. Luckily, the crime-busting ladybird has a clever plan to stop the thieves . . .

With brilliant rhyming verse from Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and bright, distinctive illustrations from award-winning illustrator, Lydia Monks, What the Ladybird Heard at the Seaside is the fourth title in the number one bestselling What the Ladybird Heard series – perfect for young children to read aloud.

Enjoy more adventures with the clever little ladybird in What the Ladybird Heard, What the Ladybird Heard Next and What the Ladybird Heard at the Zoo.
