My 2 1/2 yr old grandson absolutely loves this book and its story about the ladybug. We have to read it over and over and over. He asks many questions about the different characters in the story. We've had this book for 6 months and haven't lost ladybug yet!

I am a substitute teacher for elementary and preschool kids and bring this along when the class is first grade or under. I have read this to at least 100 kids and they all love it. The kindergardners I had today begged me to read it again. Its great for describing positions (over, down, etc.) and the simple plot easily creates discussion. Highly recommended. One preschool group said it was magic. :)

We got this book as a special treat for our (almost) 3-year old daughter while on vacation. She loves it! She giggles every time the ladybug slides under the door on one page and ends up right in front of the cat on the next page. We have't quite gotten to actually reading the story that goes along with all the ladybug's activities as our daughter is too involved with having the ladybug jump from one page to the next.

I didn't give this book a 5 for the following reasons:
-the slits that the ladybug slides through are not reinforced, so I anticipate a ripped page or two in our near future.
-the ladybug is also just thick paper, so probably not the best for longevity.
-the slits are also not very well marked and are almost exactly the size of the ladybug, so our daughter does have some difficulty with getting the ladybug through . Just a little difficult for toddler hands, so it is not the best book for her to manuever alone. Maybe in a few months or so it will be easier for her.

All in all, a great purchase, just a little more delicate than I would have expected. Would definitely purchase it again, and would recommend it!

I thought this was great. Kids are so involved watching the ladybug move to page to page with you. Highly Recommend it

My 2 year old is obsessed with this book. She loved it the first time we read it togther. It provides edless enjoyment to her to move the ladybug back and forth through the pages of the book. We use it as a bed time book, sending ladybug to bed under her leaf at the end of the book. Surprisingly the ladybug has held up well with all the use - the book even provides a template for a new bug should the original bug disappear. I highly recommend this book.

We have a blast with this book. The concept is very cute...a ladybug is being munched out of her home by a snail and goes on an adventure to find a new one. He literally does...walks through the book! My two year old and four year old ask for this story consistently. Buy this one!

I ordered this book for my daughter's 3rd birthday and I was so pleased. She thinks this book is so much fun. She loves to insert the ladybug into the openings in the pages and then get it on the other side. And I think the illustrations are beautiful. She is always careful to put the ladybug (which is quite sturdy) back into the holder on the cover so I don't think we'll lose it.

My children love this book. We also have 3 other books byRichard Fowler with cardboard animals to slide through the pages. Ihad the cardboard figures laminated and we've had the books for about5 years and they are all still in great condition!

My 1st grade class loves this book and begs for it to be read repeatedly. The students enjoy helping the ladybug journey through the garden as she disappears and reappears from page to page. This is a great read aloud!!

This is a great book! The illustrations are beautiful. My son had so much fun moving the lady bug throughout the story. He thought it was magical when you placed the lady bug between the pages and it always appreared on the next page.
