Story Time at Hong Kong Book Fair 2012:
What the Ladybird Heard (23/07/2012)

On a farm full of big, noisy animals, only the smallest, quietest animal knows that two robbers are coming … but she has a plan!

Come along to this storytelling session and find out how the ladybird outwits the robbers in this fun and colourful story. We will be encouraging children and their parents to participate in the storytelling and related activities which will not only enhance their English but also their enjoyment of English stories. These activities will help develop children’s listening skills and expand their vocabulary, as well as strengthen communication between children and their parents.
