Product Description:

Lucy Ladybird is a little too adventurous! When she flies off on her own, away from her mother, she quickly finds she's lost. As she sits on a leaf, sad and alone, other creatures pass by: woodlice, a millipede, spiders and a dung beetle. They wonder what she’s doing without her mum ...

Night draws in and Lucy is frightened. A family of stag beetles offer to look after her but her mum has told her NEVER to talk to stag beetles because they look scary. However, the stag beetles are so kind and look after Lucy so well that she realises she can trust them. When her mother eventually arrives, Lucy’s in trouble - but she protests that the stag beetles have kept her safe.

Mrs. Stag Beetle tells Lucy’s mum: ‘We’re just like you inside.’ Mrs. Ladybird comes to see that they’re all part of one big beetle family and decides they can all be friends.

A marvellous musical about minibeasts that's exceptionally cute and entertaining - and informative too! Supports the KS1 science curriculum, with free extra resources available (see 'Free Resources' below) and reinforces PHSE teaching about prejudice and diversity. Sure to be an audience-pleaser!
