Customer Reviews

Beautiful, bright-colored presentation.

Written in the form of an adventure, the book is filled with dramatic tension as the ladybug survives the dangerous life of your own backyard. It comes with a beautiful red, white, and black ladybug plush toy about nine inches x seven inches. It's a tiny book, but it's well written -- not "written down" to children -- and includes a glossary at the back. I think it's probably for third graders and above, but I predict adults will be happy to sneak a peek at it when the kids aren't looking.
