Ladybugs: Red, Fiery, and Bright [Hardcover]

Mia Posada (Author, Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

reSchool-Grade 2-This is an informative study in a whimsical, colorfully illustrated package filled with close-ups. Written in rhyming text, the description of the life cycle of ladybugs begins with fully developed insects-"Little round beetles with red coats and black spots crawl through gardens and trees, and on flowers in pots"-and progresses through a lilting study of behavior, birth, and development. Three pages of additional facts with spot illustrations of several varieties of these gardeners' friends follow. A fun, cheery addition for early reader science collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superbly crafted and presented book for young folks, April 13, 2002

This review is from: Ladybugs: Red, Fiery, and Bright (Hardcover)

Wonderfully written and charmingly illustrated by Mia Posada, Ladybugs: Red, Fiery And Bright is an educational picturebook especially designed to entertain and inform young readers. Its rhyming verse text teaches the young reader about the life cycle of the ladybug, from egg to larva, to molting and eventually metamorphosing into the fiery red insect that everyone knows so well. Ladybugs also has a brief addendum that tells more basic facts about ladybugs, such as how farmers use them to control aphids. A superbly crafted and presented book for young folks, Ladybugs is enthusiastically recommended for both school and community library collections.

This review is from: Ladybugs: Red, Fiery, and Bright

I have submitted an email to the vendor, but to date have heard nothing back yet. I know this said it was an unknown library binding, but to me that means this is a book. When it arrived, it was a cassette. There was no mention of this product being a cassette. Who uses cassettes anymore? They are obsolete! I will not be purchasing anything from this vendor in the future!
