Beetle and Lady Bug

The story captures you from the very beginning and right until the very end. My nephew loved the parts surrounding the war, while I enjoyed the love story. There is something for everyone, young and old alike.

This book is a great book. It's about going to war to save a queen who has been captured which is very touching.My favorite part of the book was when Lady Bug meet King Purple. My opinion on this book is that it is a very adventurous story and you will like it very much. Taylor from Lowell

I am in the sixth grade. I have just finished reading Beetle and Lady Bug. It is the best story I have read since Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary. Even my little brother liked it because of the war with the ants. It was a sad story, but in the end Lady Bug was the real heroine because she never quit. My little brother says the Beetle was the best because he was so ferocious. I recommend reading this book. I give it five stars.

This is a very cute book for middle school aged children. It reminds me of similar stories and movies such as "Bugs Life" and "Ants" where bugs take on human characteristics. A love story and war story in one. The Lady bug is captured to hope her secret love the Beetle (who also loves the lady bug) will come save her. A story of staying strong and helping others is a perfect theme for this story. A must read for children. Also uses words such as monarch and paradox that will keep a child challenged. Excellent quick read!
