What's good?
* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!
* I like the storyline where it tells how the life of a ladybug in hunting for food and also defending itself from predators.
* I used the opportunity in this book to teach my 3 year old son about the body parts of a ladybug, how it hunts for food and also defends itself from predators.
* The illustration is beautiful and quite life-like!
Room for Improvement?
* I would prefer if the word that pops out when we touched it comes with the audio sound as currently only the text word pops out.
* I would to see a diagram of the life cycle of a ladybug!
