Ten touchable ladybugs in yellow, orange, and red appear on the first page, and one by one they disappear as you turn each page. All the ladybugs re-appear with their animal friends at the end. This book is full of beautiful colors. It's not only great for counting ladybugs - it's also great for noticing rhymes, identifying animals and the sounds they make, and there are plenty of colors and details in the pictures to talk about together.
The text on each page isn't too long - just the right rhythm for a little one to anticipate the next number - the nine little ladybugs skip on a gate, along comes the caterpillar, then there were (page turn)... eight. The baby will be so proud to know the right answer in advance! It is a terrific book for teaching children to count and enjoying the beautiful colors of ladybugs.

This is one of my 10 month old's very favorite books. When he goes to his little bookshelf, this is the book he invariably pulls down and flips though. When I read it to him, he is totally riveted. When he flips through it by himself, I see him touching the ladybugs (since they're 3 dimensional) and exploring the holes on the left.
This book is brilliant and works on many levels. It's very melodic (great rhyming verses w/out being too sing-song-y). Example: "Ten little ladybugs, sitting on a vine. Along came a caterpiller, then there were..." turn the page and you get "nine little ladybugs...."
Plus, you've got each number on the page represented 4 ways - on the right, you see how many ladybugs remain (i.e., 10 of them). On the left, you've got the number displayed ("10"), plus the holes add up to the same number, and then the verse at the bottom has the number written out ("ten little ladybugs...")
All the characters throughout the book (the caterpillar, the grasshopper, the turtle, etc.) show up at the end so you it's not like they come & go and are forgotten, and each page is beautifully illustrated. The book is also very well put together and I don't fear that the ladybugs are going to come off when my son grabs them. This book is very well used in our house and it's still holding up incredibly well. We highly recommend it! |

This book is my son's favorite. We read it at least three times every day!! The pictures are enticing and beautiful, and the meter makes it as fun to read as a song is to sing. He also likes to touch the ladybugs and see them disappear, one by one, with the turn of every page. I like that it teaches numbers and backward counting in a fun way that really pulls him in and excites him about reading. |

The best part about this book is the plot: as various animals "come along" the ladybugs begin disappearing one by one. On the first read, you'll start to worry that you'll have to explain the "circle of life" when you get to the end, but alas there is a happy ending. And it doesn't seem to occur to little kids (just learning to count) that the lady bugs might be getting eaten, but the idea keeps me entertained every time.
The book has great colorful artwork and the bugs stick out. My daughter loves to touch the bugs as she counts - I think having something to touch helps the kids move from just pointing around and saying numbers to actually counting objects. |

The cover of this work will catch the eye of any young reader. Ten little ladybugs glow out at you making you want to see what is inside the cover of this book, and you are not disappointed.
We start off with our ten ladybugs, but as different preditors come the number keeps getting lower and lower until we just have one that makes it home.
This story shows little ones how nature works. It is colorful and educational as well. |
