Summary: Ten Little Ladybugs review
Review: 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.

Summary: Ten Little Ladybugs
Review: This book was an excellent choice to share with preschoolers. The vivid illustrations and ladybugs on the pages attract children immediately. The story has a very predictable pattern that young children can memorize and retell. We have read it many, many times!

Summary: A Must Have...
Review: As a Child Development Specialist I understand the importance of reading to infants - so you can imagine my disappointment when my baby had an active resentment to my attempts to "read" to her. Suddenly (like a light switch), at 13 months, my daughter became completely enamored with books. Ten Little Ladybugs is her absolute favorite... and we read it 5-7 times EVERY day. She pulls it out from the coffee table and crawls into my lap for story time. Both the writing and illustrations are magnificent. Reading this book to my daughter is such a fun experience that I truly believe every child should be fortunate enough to have that important grown-up in their life share this magical book with them. I now give this book as gifts to all baby and grandparent showers I attend.

Summary: Get this book for your baby!
Review: A friend started reading this book to her son right after he was born. When I babysat him at 5 or 6 months he was holding the page down until I counted all of the ladybugs while he pointed to them with me. It was definitely his favorite book and I couldn't believe that he was tracking print left to right and turning pages correctly at this young age!
So now I buy all of my friends with new babies this book and their children all seem to love it!

Summary: Delightful rhyming story -- a toddler's favorite
Review: My one-year-old son pulls this book off the shelf at every opportunity. The pages are stiffer than paper but not as thick as a board book, so it's more like a big-boy book but he can still turn the pages himself.
I like the way this book teaches counting but in a more subtle way than some of the all-out counting books that simply show "one cat, two socks," etc. It's an enjoyable, rhyming story that just happens to have numbers.
To clarify, the nine animals that come along in the book are NOT predators, as another reviewer said they were. There is not just ONE ladybug that makes it home safely. They ALL are reunited at home on the last page of the book. The way I understand the book is that the 10 ladybugs are on an outing, and each one leaves the group with an animal friend (butterfly, caterpillar, etc.) who later takes him / her back home. Are the ladybugs lost and needing help to find their way home? Are they playing with the other animals and then eventually they all go home for supper? I don't have this answer. But please don't think that this book is a nature lesson about the food chain. No ladybugs are harmed in the reading of this book!

Summary: My son loves this book!
Review: 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, so it's not a Fish-Eat-Ladybug world, as implied in other reviews. This book is full of beautiful colors, and my son chooses this book 9 times out of 10--which continues to surprise me, since he loves cars and trucks and has plenty of books about them.
It's not only great for counting ladybugs (and when he was little, he really just liked to touch them--and I didn't have to worry he would destroy the book, like with pop-ups, or lift-up flaps)--it's great for 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. He is so proud to know the right answer in advance!
We own an incredible amount of books, and we read often each day. But of all the choices in our home--including books with trucks and wheels, books with textured pieces, slide and seek books, scratch and sniff books, and many more--my active toddler keeps coming back to this favorite.

Summary: I hate this book
Review: I really do hate this book. The plot makes no sense. How does a fish interact with ladybugs? Yeah, I get the point that it's supposed to teach counting, but the story itself is stupid. Judging by the negative votes I get on this review, some people seem to believe that the words that are printed on the pages are not why the rest of us buy books. Wouldn't it be better to teach counting with a REAL STORY?

Summary: My son loves it!
Review: My son received this book for his 2nd birthday, and I'll admit, I was alttle disappointed. I thought "Boys don't like ladybugs." Well I was wrong. My son LOVES this book so much!
95% of the time when I tell him that it is "book time", he grabs this book first. And we need to read it over and over again!

Summary: Great Work
Review: 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.
