5.0 out of 5 stars Cunning little 3-d ladybugs in a singsong book, June 2, 2004

This review is from: Ten Little Ladybugs (Board book)

This is the most jazzed-up version possible of the classic rhyme about ladybugs!

So here's the scoop: Ten Little Ladybugs is a board book with bright red, yellow and orange plastic ladybugs permanently embedded into the ten pages (and they each have a variety of spots, just like ladybugs do in real life). Each page has carefully placed cutouts so that when you turn it, the ladybug on that page disappears but the others appear to move to the next spread. What you end up with is a clever rhyming book that teaches simple subtraction with three-dimensional ladybugs.

This book is sturdy, colorful and well-made. The ladybugs show no signs of falling off even after two years of being explored by curious little fingers. My children love the novelty of it and request it again and again. Completely recommended for kids ages one to five.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all preschoolers!, March 18, 2001

This review is from: Ten Little Ladybugs (Board book)

We got this book for our grandson just turning one, and it was his favorite book all weekend. He loved the illustrations, and loved just looking at it himself. An added bonus was that our granddaughter, just about three, loved to have it read to her and loved counting the ladybugs as you turned each page. I would guess that next she will be reading it to her brother. (It's that type of book -- seems to grow with the kids!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Little Ladybugs review, January 2, 2001

This review is from: Ten Little Ladybugs (Board book)

My 10 1/2 month old son received this as a Christmas gift and absolutely loves it! He wants me to read it to him over and over again. Once he's had enough of that, he carries it with him everywhere. It is a beautifully illustrated book and very easy to read the counting, rhyming storyline.
