There are over 5000 species of Ladybugs in the world—on every continent but Antarctica. They are essential parts of the food chain, often eating plant pests like aphids. Children will recognize this familiar species as they read about them in this NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book.

Each stage is beautifully illustrated with painted pictures from Gail Gibbons. Students will also find the content amazing, deepening an understanding of a species they have probably seen but never understood. Website links are provided to take them farther.
