Ladybug Longlist: Animals

A is for Axolotl by Catherine Macorol

Don't Worry Wuddles by Lita Judge

"The book has great kid-appeal with a fun and engaging story and delightful farm illustrations.  Bonus, Lita lives in NH!" -- nominator

Mine! by Candice Fleming and Eric Rohmann

"Cute rhyming story about greed, patience and twists of fate." -- nominator
