Such an amazing science book for children. Chock full of pictures and articulate explanations, this book describes fascinating facts and development of this little beetle. This book was interesting to me! (Be aware that age appropriate pictures and text clearly describe mating and egg laying. I found it refreshing, but parents do need to know what they are purchasing.) I have seen several in this series. They are all excellent resources for elementary children and worth tracking down.

This is an information book because it informs the readers about ladybugs. The art in this book is all real life photography. The content in this book is the different stages of a ladybug. The reading level is fifth or sixth grade. The curricular connection is science because it is about the regeneration of creatures and the formation of ladybugs.
