(4) K-3 "Its skin splits apart. / The larva wiggles free. / Its new larger skin / fits more comfortably." A rhyming text follows the lifespan of a ladybug from egg to larva to pupa to beetle. Each stage of life is simply explained, but the forced rhyme occasionally impedes the delivery of details. Full-bleed, boldly colored art complements the brief text. Additional facts about ladybugs and a labeled diagram are appended.
