Frolic in the forest and find sweet surprises with this tree-mendous issue of LADYBUG! When a tree falls down, that isn’t always the end. Join Max and Kate as they transform a blown-down tree into their very own treehouse, and help Katie and her family commemorate their favorite tree in a unique way. Take a walk to the corner store, host a very special tea party, and search for a missing muffin! In “Sugar on Snow” by Thea Schwartz, a young boy named Chester helps his grandfather tap trees for maple syrup and gets to try a unique treat. Can you guess what it is? The hint is in the title of the story!
Plus, kids can host their own tea parties, solve imaginative brainteasers, laugh at charming comics, and even print out their own Valentine’s Day cards! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this issue of LADYBUG is a love letter to trees!
