Bright Beetle

(3) K-3 From a beetle's-eye view, Chrustowski tells the story of a ladybug's journey from egg to larva to pupa to fully developed adult. The narrative describes the insect's changing physical characteristics, the predators it faces, and its defenses in each stage. The vibrant colored pencil illustrations provide realistic and animated close-up portraits. This is an engaging introduction to a familiar garden inhabitant.
