The Ladybug Buddies Incredible Skydiving Adventure

Get ready for the LADYBUG BUDDIES as they head out on their Incredible Skydiving Adventure! No ladybug has ever flown so high or gone so far from the pop shop before, but they are trying to find out what it really means to be a buddy. That's what they think, anyway. Except it's a lot harder than they thought it would be. And it isn't long before they get into trouble they can't get out of. Not all by themselves. Or, can they?

So.. What did I think?

This is cute book for kids. I read it to my 8 yr old daughter, and my son who is 10 also enjoyed listening to it since he was in the room while I was reading.

This is a tale of two lady bugs, who are buddies. They do everything together and in this book, they end up going on a skydiving adventure together. They start out at Buddy's Pop Shop, drinking root beer, and listening to some fellows talk about their adventures. These guys mention that buddies go skydiving together and one ladybug "buddies" decides he wants to go on the adventure too. The other "buddy" is a bit leary about that, but ends up going because "buddies never leave each other". After a pretty hairy, scary ride, some close calls, and a little misunderstanding, they finally make it back to Buddy's Pop Shop (all in one piece).

My daughter enjoyed the book. Even though it is a chapter book, five chapters and 43 pages, we were able to read it in one sitting. Personally, I would have enjoyed the "buddies" having names. Reading it out loud, I felt like I was saying "buddy" every few words. But the kids didn't seem to mind that no one in the book had a name per say. So, I am guessing, most kids will enjoy this book! And it seems there are more "buddy" stories to come.

A big thanks to the author and bookfun.org who provided this book for me in exchange for my honest opinion.

Interview with Author Lori Benton and GIVEAWAY

Today I want to welcome Lori Benton to the blog. She is the author of two books Burning Sky and her most recent novel The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn . Lori Benton was born and raised east of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by early American and family history going back to the 1600s. Her novels transport readers to the 18th century, where she brings to life the Colonial and early Federal periods of American history, creating a melting pot of characters drawn from both sides of a turbulent and shifting frontier, brought together in the bonds of God's transforming grace. When she isn’t writing, reading, or researching 18th century history, Lori enjoys exploring the mountains with her husband – often scouring the brush for huckleberries, which overflow the freezer and find their way into her signature huckleberry lemon pound cake. Now, let's see what Lori has to say: ( Lori's answers are in green )
