Book Reviews of Ten Little Ladybugs
Book Review: Mistake or sad ending on last page - notifying publisher
Summary: 4 Stars
My aunt bought this book for my daughter and she loved it, then I showed it to my 3 year old son and he started screaming instead of showing relief on the last page, "them ate all the yellow and orange ones, only the red are left!!!" "Them gonna eat the red ones too!" That's right, if you notice on the cover and on each page as you turn them, the lady bugs are different colors: red, yellow and orange, but on the last page, when it says all the lady bugs are "home" the picture only shows red lady bugs. Now maybe your little ones didn't notice this, honestly I didn't either at first, but the author should think about coloring the lady bugs on the last page to reflect not just 10 lady bugs but ones of the right color - or it looks like only the red survived! I know this wasn't the author's intention, as a matter of fact, the placement of different colored bugs on the front might have been a last minute choice, to brighten up the cover, but if your little one is paying attention like my second one was, this is not really a happy ending. I told him the yellow and orange ones are in there somewhere we just can't see them and this is where all ladybugs live, yada yada, but he was suspicious. ;)
It's a cute book, but I'm notifying the editor and hoping they can change it if there's another print - the book is really cute in concept.
