5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction of insects to young people, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ladybug and Other Insects (A First Discovery Book) (Hardcover)

We inherited this book from family, and our 2 year old loves it. She know all about ladybugs, pupa, larva, and aphids. She has spent lots of time looking at the pictures, and she "reads" it to herself some nights (she's memorized most of the words).

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE YOUR PRESCHOOLERS TO SCIENCE!!!, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ladybug and Other Insects (A First Discovery Book) (Hardcover)

My 4-year-old daughter loves this book! The pictures and transparencies are very inviting, and the text is easy to follow and informative. Did you know that all insects have 6 legs?? Did you know that ladybugs are yellow at first and then turn red with black dots? My 4 year old can tell you these things as well as what ladybugs eat (answer: aphids).

This review is from: The Ladybug and Other Insects (A First Discovery Book) (Hardcover)

We received this book as a hand-me-down with a bunch of other books and my three year old son has singled it out. Not only does he always want us to read this book to him, but its one of the books he reads to himself several times each day. As a result he knows more about beetles than most adults! We are planning to buy him more of these books. We believe that the pictures and overlays are what drew him in, and since the text is simple and straight forward he learns and retains the information. We highly recommend these books.
