By: WebWire

Children who love Caroleann Rice's “The Song of Solomon The Snail” will also love her second children's book “The Ladybug and the Bully Frog” (Xulon Press; 2018). They will be happy to see wise Solomon the Snail and Mrs. Ladybug Dot, plus a host of new characters, in the story.

“The Ladybug and the Bully Frog” centers on a neighborhood bully and his friends' effort to help him learn the error of his ways and become happy again. Milton the Frog is hurt that he is not invited to a party thrown by Skeeter the Mosquito and Mugsy the Bee. He becomes sad, would talk to no one, and behaves badly toward the other animals at the pond, hollering and yelling at them.

Out of concern for their friend who has become a bully, Clover the Rabbit and Mrs. Ladybug Dot visit Solomon the Snail for help. The wise snail encourages them to approach Milton out of love and witness to him about the Mighty Wondrous Voice of Love.

With its brilliant artwork, colorful illustrations, and lighted-hearted, comforting dialogue, “The Ladybug and the Bully Frog” radiates with a message of friendship, love of neighbor, and forgiveness. The book demonstrates what true friends would do to and for a friend who has erred: neither judging nor abandoning them but helping them improve and change their ways. The book also extols the genuine happiness of a person with a reformed loved one.

The illustrated children's book highlights the importance of seeking wise counsel from others, as demonstrated by Clover and Mrs. Ladybug. Instead of just approaching Milton and confronting him for his bullying behavior, they visit Solomon first. This would benefit them, as Solomon does not only instruct them on how they should approach Milton but also provide them with the necessary encouragement they need to approach a friend who has become a bully.

“The Ladybug and the Bully Frog” also highlights the importance of witnessing to others, as demonstrated by Mrs. Ladybug testifying to Milton and sharing with him about the Mighty Wondrous Voice of Love. The story illustrates the power of authentic faith, bearing fruit to a strong testimony and, in turn, inspiring a genuine conversion. This is a story of renewal and the joy it inspires.
