Ladybugs

Description

Everything you ever wanted to know about ladybugs— and why they're crucial to our environment. When you think of a ladybug, you might picture a little red beetle with seven black spots on its back—but did you know there are thousands of types of ladybugs, spread across the world? With her signature combination of simple text, clear illustrations, and simple diagrams, Gail Gibbons explores the world of ladybugs. These small beetles live on six of the seven continents, ranging in size, markings, and coloration. Follow a ladybug through the four stages of its development from egg to adult, and learn about its behavior and habitat—plus, how little ladybugs help protect crops by eating harmful insects. Bright illustrations and an easy-to-read text make this ideal for young readers studying the natural world. A page of quick ladybug facts and resources for learning more are included. Review: Fabulous - Gail Gibbons’ books are just fantastic for the primary classroom. I have almost every animal book she has written. I teach K and the books can be a bit wordy for that age but you can always read the book over a couple of days. I just love the life-cycle pictures and all of the facts. Her books are such great, complete learning tools! Review: LOVE this non-fiction book!! - This is a great non-fiction book. It has great facts and information for my 3rd grade classroom. And my students LOVE ladybugs so I was a perfect addition to be read alouds.
