Ladybugs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780823427604)

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.
