Photographs, drawings, and text on two different levels of difficulty follow the stages of development of the ladybug, from mating and hatching of the larvae to the growth of the larvae into adult ladybugs.
The book has wonderful pictures. The text is suitable for two year olds to pre-teens because the main points about each picture can be read to a two year old without any loss of meaning by skipping over the details if their attention wavers while the older child is able to read the text by themselves. Finally, I really like the final page where thumbnail views of the previous pictures allow the child to summarize the steps in their own words.
Fun + informative

My 3 year old daughter has been attracted for ladybugs for a long time. This book is great because it has some wonderful pictures but also has good information in it too. I like that it can read like a storybook if you just read the main parts, but you can also go at your own pace and read the extra information alongside the pictures. It really is a great buy for only 5 bucks!
