(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Soman. Lulu is excited to swim in the ocean--until she sees how "big and noisy" it is. When her sandcastle pail is swept away, Lulu, a.k.a. Ladybug Girl, takes action. Soman's illustrations nicely juxtapose the ocean's diffuse shades with Lulu's red-saturated costume, constantly drawing the eye to Lulu. The text hits all of its points in a way that's a little too on-the-nose.
