Join Donno and Ally, two young dinosaurs, in Kadoodlypop Town as they buy a new car.
Donno and Ally love bugs, cars, and most of all being with their best friends: Lu-Lu (a kangaroo), Ritchie (a pterodactyl), and Sophie and Jamie (twin crocodiles).

But can Donno, Ally, and their friends do everything together? Can they all go for a ride in their new little car?
A splash of creativity and a bit of teamwork go a long way in solving this dilemma for the Kadoodlypop friends in The Dinosaur Ladybug Car.

The Dinosaur Ladybug Car is the first title in the Kadoodlypop Series, which can also be read and enjoyed as a standalone story.
The story promotes artistic expression and social, emotional, and cognitive learning as the Kadoodlypop characters experience disappointment and are faced with having to wait and take turns. But, with some community co-operation, they all put their imagination and problem-solving skills to work to create a happy ending for everyone.

The Dinosaur Ladybug Car Activity Book provides hours of fun and extended learning with its coloring pages, how-to-draw the loveable characters, picture searches, and much more.

Reviews for The Dinosaurs’ Ladybug Car

My preschooler and I love this book! She loves the whimsical colors and characters and the easy-to-follow story line. I love that she is learning emotional intelligence and vocabulary without realizing it!

I just love Mary Roys’ beautiful new storybook, The Dinosaurs’ Ladybug Car. It teaches young children to problem-solve and work together in such a fun and refreshing way. The colorful illustrations by Leila Elgersma are gorgeous and made me fall in love with the adorable characters. I can’t wait to see more books in the Kadoodlypop children’s book series, which I am sure will be equally engaging.

I absolutely love the colors and illustrations which are very attractive to children. The characters are adorable, and kids are going to love them! I also love the use of verbs, adjectives, and onomatopoeia. I would definitely add it to my collection!

Young children will love The Dinosaurs’ Ladybug Car. It is a sweet and exciting story about two young dinosaurs who learn about different insects and types of cars. It also contains a gentle message about turn-taking and beautiful illustrations. This book would make an excellent addition to any home collection or school library.

Congratulations and well done on a beautifully written and illustrated book. It was an excellent read and very age appropriate. It models positive social behaviour and cooperation. The book shows how children can play and communicate with others. The characters show empathy and portray how friendships help children develop important life skills such as getting along with others, problem solving strategies, and social emotional skills. It was an enjoyable and uplifting read with a happy ending.

What a fun book! I cannot wait to read more! Join Donno and Ally as they bring their creativity to life. Learn colors and bug names, how to be creative, as well as how we can share our creativity with others.

I read this book with my little niece. She loved it. Very colourful, with great charm of their characters. Each has been shown to be individual which was great for my niece to pick up on. Using the animals and the bugs was a fun and enjoyable way of learning about bugs. It was simple and easy to understand for little people with wonderful pictures to help the understanding and letting children follow the story. Hopefully, there will be more books of the same on the horizon.
