Ladybug Girl loves to play games by herself and with her dog, Bingo. From hosting a fancy tea party, to building tall towers of blocks, to playing hide-and-seek, Ladybug Girl can make any game even more fun by using her imagination. Whether played inside or outside, the games Ladybug Girl chooses will be immediately familiar to young readers and show that anyone can make their own fun. This new board book celebrates imaginary play the Ladybug Girl way!

(synopsis from Goodreads)

I didn't realize this was a board book when I picked it up (I had the e-book version). It's not a story like the other Ladybug Girl books. It's just Ladybug Girl doing various activities over six spreads, accompanied by her dog, Bingo.

The pictures are really cute, and if you (or your kids) love Ladybug Girl, you might like this one. I was looking for a story, though, and there's none to be had here.
