Praise forSir Ladybug:

The story’s themes of friendship and acceptance may be familiar but leave it to Tabor to get there in a wholly original way. —Publishers Weekly(starred review)

“Geisel medalist Tabor has produced another winner.”—Booklist(starred review)

This funny friendship story is an excellent offering for young readers. —School Library Journal

“Will have readers joining Pell the Roly-Poly Herald in loudly singing Sir Ladybug’s praises. —The Horn Book

Tabor keeps the laughs coming in this new addition to his wonderful graphic-reader series. Though the bookish jokes and underlying message about everyone being welcome at the library will make it a particular favorite among librarians, kids will get a kick out of the story’s elevation of a common scenario...into a full-blown quest. -Booklist

Full of tongue-in-cheek humor and visual gags, this is an exceptional transitional comic marked by an energetic pace, uncluttered panel layouts, and short chapters that will prime slightly more lC.
